Creating Resilient Supply Chains

How the pandemic, Russia-Ukraine war and the rising inflation has been causing pressure on global supply chains and the cost of consumer products.

We all thought that the supply challenges across the transport and logistic sectors would be easing post the pandemic shutdowns.

However, it’s not just the pandemic that’s causing issues, its other factors that include rising inflation and the impacts of the Russia-Ukraine war.

Building a Resilient Supply Chain

Here’s some suggestion on what you can do to build more resilience in your supply chains.

  • Embed best practices and tight controls that give you a full visibility of your supply chain touchpoints.
  • Look into your extended supply chains to identify their risks. Locate the most vulnerable vendors, so you have alternatives if something goes wrong.
  • Formalise your agreements with suppliers, setting terms, conditions, and service levels, allowing you to share risk exposure.
  • Monitor and evaluate your supply performance and collaborating in advance of any potential issues or risks.
  • Accept disruption is part of doing business, so develop a process to manage it to keep your operations humming. Look into harnessing a just-in-caseinventory strategy.
