THE GRANULARITY OF RESILIENCE
Macro-scale operations can be mistaken for strength, but in this edition we’ re looking at the“ small stuff” that keeps the world moving. Perhaps the most resilient businesses are those that master the invisible. The semiconductor wafer on our cover is the starting point for our journey into the world of precision. Hans Vloeberghs, President and Managing Director of Fujifilm Electronic Materials Europe, discusses working where every move matters at a molecular level.
In this edition you’ ll also learn about PUMA’ s pixel-perfect simulations and how Reckitt is cutting hidden Scope 3 emissions.
This edition of Manufacturing Digital is my very first as Editor. While I’ m eager to learn about the best technologies and practices, I’ m even more interested in the leaders behind the machinery. I would love to connect with you, so please do get in touch.
