Abstract

Fall 2008’s dramatic increase in energy prices created major headaches for many supply chain managers, as no one could have predicted such an extreme rise in prices over such a short period of time.

A Roundtable on the Impact of Energy Price Increases on the Global Supply Chain was convened on October 22, 2008, to discuss how partner companies were adapting their supply chain operations to be flexible and agile enough to meet these challenges.

When the Roundtable met, however, participants focused on energy price volatility as the main supply chain issue rather than purely the price increase.

During this webinar, CTL Executive Director, Dr. Chris Caplice, reviews the key findings of this CTL Roundtable.
