Prof. Dr. Kai Hoberg held the POM Network Abendgespräch Keynote 2022
Should we bring manufacturing home? Only if we can establish local supply chains, according to Prof. Dr. Kai Hoberg, Professor of Supply Chain and Operations Strategy at Kühne Logistics University, Hamburg, Germany.
Prof. Dr. Kai Hoberg is Professor of Supply Chain and Operations Strategy at Kühne Logistics University, Hamburg, Germany. Hoberg’s current research topics include supply chain analytics, the role of technology in supply chains, inventory modeling, and the link between operations and finance. In particular, he explores the fundamental drivers of supply chain performance and strategies applying real-world data. With this highly relevant background, Kai rhetorically asked the question if it’s time to bring manufacturing home to Europe.
The POM Network Abendgespräch is an annual event with a specially invited keynote who addresses a timely question for Swiss manufacturers. This was the fifth time the event was held in this format.
