The COVID-19 pandemic severely impacted commercial supply chain operations and associated services in an extreme and challenging manner. One major, Texas-based grocery chain, H-E-B, anticipated the arrival of the virus in the U.S. and took early steps to mitigate its impact.
Mr. Noakes will discuss how H-E-B anticipated and responded to the most significant infectious disease outbreak of the 21st century. Join the webcast and learn more about the operational lessons learned and how H-E-B’s experience can inform supply chain management and pandemic preparedness. Questions may be submitted during registration or live, during the webinar.
