Supply Chain Risk Management

Supply Chain Risk Management emerged from the Covid crisis as a topic of strategic importance to organizations of all sizes due to:

  • Trade Wars: with the increase of growing economic nationalism and protectionist policies reinforced by military, trade wars have become an integral part of Supply Chain dynamics with major impacts of tariffs and sanctions on several tiers of supply chain players.
  • Disruption Awareness: The pandemic highlighted vulnerabilities in global supply chains, demonstrating how sudden disruptions can halt operations and affect revenue.
  • Resilience Building: Organizations realized the need for stronger contingency plans to adapt quickly to unforeseen challenges and maintain continuity.
  • Ever evolving regulatory landscape: Regulations addressing environmental standards, labor practices, data privacy, and financial crime have added layers of risks on the top of the trade wars
  • Strategic Diversification: Companies recognized the value of diversifying suppliers and production locations to mitigate risks associated with reliance on single sources or regions.
  • Technological Integration: The pandemic accelerated the adoption of advanced analytics and technology to monitor and respond to supply chain disruptions in real-time.
  • Financial Impact: The significant economic losses experienced reinforced the importance of SCRM as a critical component of business strategy to safeguard profitability and sustainability.
  • Research shows that supply chain disruptions impact operating performance from 7% to 120% resulting in 10% drop in shareholder value on average (for more, please fill in the contact form )
