Identifying, mitigating and managing supply chain disruptions

Identifying, mitigating and managing supply chain disruptions

There are two categories of supply-chain risk: resting risk (the known risks such as bottlenecks) and reactive risk (including pandemics). To manage a supply chain in both scenarios, procurement leaders need to have a clear understanding of where and how those risks can disrupt and challenge. 

It is also becoming clear that there needs to be a more nuanced attitude to supply-chain resilience. Procurement leaders are no longer required to deliver only on cost, they are becoming ‘value architects’ for their businesses.

Read this CIPS Download report, produced in partnership with Achilles, as we discuss the dramatic change in risk over the past year and the possible routes to achieving true supply-chain resilience.
