How meeting customer needs continues to drive the performance of Mercedes-Benz USA
Hello and welcome to the October issue of Supply Chain World . Do you like our new look ? We thought it was time that all the titles in our portfolio were given
a refresh and I am thrilled to finally be able to reveal the redesigned SCW to our readers . Let me know what you think .
This month ’ s features take a look at Sustainability , Technology and 3D Printing . In the first of that list , author Dr . Madhav Durbha discusses how to turn
regulations into opportunities , and I find that that sort of mindset very appealing . Turn to page 18 to see his reasoning .
It ’ s also a thrill to be able to preview two events – let ’ s celebrate the return of exhibitions , conferences and face-to-face networking !
