Head of Engineering Services @ GF Piping Systems, James Chandler, talks to DIN about his experience of the Supply Chain. What are some of the many factors that can lead to a vital assembly line halting and the action needed to resolve these challenges in a global production chain. We also find out how the development of offsite manufacturing in product design is utilised to mitigate risk and why piping of the plastic kind is the unlikely aid to sustainability and efficiencies in buildings and facilities.
