Risk management has been among the top priorities on board agendas and in procurement departments for many years, yet companies found themselves unprepared for the pandemic-driven increase in supplier risks and the resulting supply chain disruptions. As suppliers shut down across China and other global locations, it became increasingly more difficult-or impossible-to keep inbound products and parts flowing. As a result, many suppliers went bankrupt, or couldn't maintain deliveries. The pandemic has been a global supply chain wake-up call. Companies that experienced shortages and inconsistent, often delayed, shipments of critical goods wondered how they missed the risk involved with their supply chains. |
