This approach has an impact , not only internally , but also on external forces , such as the global electronics supply chain . Resiliency here can make or break a product design ; this is ideally addressed at the earliest stage of development . However , it is partnerships that are the not-so-secret ingredient , effectively supporting redesigns and adjusting schedules by avoiding or eliminating surprises .
“ It ’ s this source of creative and experienced thinking that also mitigates risk in the supply chain with proprietary tools , software platforms and artificial intelligence that can be accessed as needed .”
