Supply Chain Continuity
The effective management of global supply chains – or “value networks” – is an increasingly significant driver of business performance. It also presents numerous management challenges, as myriad trade-offs have to be considered. And as global supply chains become longer and more complex, the potential impacts from a supply chain disruption are also becoming increasingly significant. Impacts can range from the direct losses associated with a supply chain disruption to potentially severe impacts to a company’s brand, reputation and/or customer relationships.
