It’s been a long 24 months of waiting on equipment, materials, and labor, and the next 24 months don’t look much easier. This session is designed to help navigate this new normal with strategies and technologies that reduce delays and cascading failures, with special attention paid to how the largest operators are approaching supply chain. Digital design, DfMA, liquid cooling, and prefab are just a few of the solutions that will be discussed and are proven to speed up time to market.

Takeaway

  • Recognition that supply chain issues are no longer a pandemic-only problem — they’re here to stay
  • Understand cascading failures, what causes them, and how to avoid them
  • Learn about modern means and methods for delivering jobs like digital design, prefab, and DfMA
