## Summary

Michael Lucia, Director of Global Supply Chain Solutions at Benchmark, discusses the shift from 'just-in-time' to 'just-in-case' supply chain strategies driven by recent global disruptions. He explains how 'Design for Supply Chain' requires early collaboration between OEMs and EMS partners to simplify bills of material, dual-source components, and consider geopolitical risks like reshoring to Mexico. Lucia highlights the importance of using tools like IHS and Rapid to create a 'glass pipeline' for visibility and emphasizes that a 24-month rolling forecast is critical for managing long lead times and supplier decomits.
