Tariffs are reshaping the way businesses operate in various ways. They impact costs, supply chains, and strategic planning. Join us for an exclusive event hosted by Josh Zable, Chief Financial Officer at Minitab, where we’ll break down the goals and impacts of tariffs and cost-cutting strategies that make your manufacturing operations healthier, not weaker. You’ll see how Minitab and Simul8 can help you adapt, optimize, and stay ahead, whether it’s through better resource use, reducing waste, or preparing for the unexpected.

What You’ll Learn:

→ What tariffs are, and the philosophical, non-political pros and cons of how they’re used.  
→ Typical knee-jerk reactions to cost-cutting and their shortcomings.  
→ How Minitab can help you reframe the concept of “taking cost out.”  
→ How process improvement can reduce scrap and rework with the help of statistical process control.  
→ Using simulation to identify bottlenecks and simulate contingency plans.  
→ An approach to exploring potential changes to your supply chain to prepare for volatility.
