BEYOND DISRUPTIONS: BUILDING THE NEXT GENERATION OF RESILIENT SUPPLY CHAINS
With so much riding on the supply chain, organizations are learning the hard lesson that to build resilience in today’s environment, they need to improve supply chain flexibility. This requires gaining greater visibility into the risks and vulnerabilities present throughout their supply chains.
In years past, a company could review its supply chain design every few years, or, more typically, let it take shape organically in response to opportunities and cost pressures. But that dynamic has changed. As the shifts and shocks of the real world come faster, more companies recognize and are embracing the need to continuously refine the supply chain to achieve a balance between efficiency and resiliency.
Read the Harvard Business Review Analytic Services Briefing Paper, Beyond Disruptions: Building the Next Generation of Resilient Supply Chains, to understand:
- How companies can identify and work through bottlenecks, shorter decision time-frames, and adjust to high-stakes environments with the help of continuous supply chain design and digital twins.
- How a faster, technology- supported design capability is the key to greater resilience and improved flexibility
- How a change in organizational culture—to refocus talent, awareness, and commitment—is required to embed new capabilities and make them sustainable
