Challenging Perceptions Through Personal Stories
Mai explains how supply chain management encompasses everything from sourcing raw materials through to delivering products to customers, highlighting its importance in keeping industries moving. She also reflects on how the COVID-19 pandemic brought supply chains into sharper focus, as well as the role of teamwork, diverse perspectives, and collaboration in driving innovation.
