In 2021, as part of the United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP26), 19 countries, including the United States (U.S.), United Kingdom (U.K.), Chile and Australia, signed the Clydebank Declaration, which aims to support the establishment of at least six green corridors by the middle of this decade, intending to scale up over the decade. In April 2022, the U.S. Department of State (DOS) announced its objective to help set up green shipping corridors and provided high-level guidance on the building blocks for green shipping corridors. Maritime decarbonization is a particularly complex challenge with multiple pathways that are at various levels of technological and operational readiness.

While shippers book their freight shipments through multiple platforms, and often source insurance coverage through shipping partners, the Report reflects that the most popular booking method is to work directly with a transportation carrier. However, as a shipper’s revenue reaches upwards of $100M, the use of a Transportation Management System (TMS) increases.

The supply chains of many organizations are becoming increasingly complex. At the same time, potential business risks around supply chains are growing, due to increasing regulations regarding supply chain security, emerging cybersecurity risks, international sanctions, environmental and carbon concerns, product quality issues, climate-related weather events, increasing supply costs, and numerous other potential disruptors. Most organizations don’t fully understand their supply chain. Companies often underestimate the number of businesses, actors, and countries involved in different stages of producing their products. A security or production vulnerability in just one part of a given product’s chain could have a huge impact on an organization’s production, mission, or business if something were to interfere with the supply.

To rapidly scale their manufacturing, our clients need the ability to investigate issues and model the effects of process changes. Foundry integrates data and logic from every stage & every team, from input materials to reactor conditions, and creates a digital twin of the entire development and manufacturing process. This foundation opens the door to virtual experimentation — our clients can use scenario analyses to plan vendor changes, optimize bioreactor yield, and compare quality metrics through time. The net result is a dramatic increase in process development velocity to achieve more consistent yields and efficient ramp-up of new therapies.

The Software Supply Chain suffers from a noxious condition that leads to an absolute lack of transparency. While the hardware world would have never developed without standardized product composition information exchange across suppliers, somehow the Software industry made it to this point without such standards. Needless to say, we are paying the consequences of this shortcoming. The worst part of the recent LOG4J vulnerability was not the exploit itself, but the absolute lack of visibility on which products and services it affected.

In the fall of 2009 MIT CTL conducted a global survey of supply chain risk experiences, attitudes, and risk management practices. Over 1400 supply chain professionals from 70 countries participated. The survey asked business and supply chain managers their opinions about the importance of risk prevention compared to response preparedness. Overall, 54% of respondents considered risk prevention more important, 30% viewed them as equal, and 16% considered response preparedness more important.
