As supply chains have stretched out across the globe in the search for savings, they have become increasingly complex with multiple different tiers. This has dramatically increased the risk that businesses face. The 2011 earthquake and tsunami in Japan woke organisations up to this complexity, but the outbreak of coronavirus in late 2019 has shown that the threat remains. While procurement has kept supply chains operating in the wake of the virus’ spread, thoughts are turning to what can be done long-term to ensure businesses are better insulated.
In this webinar we will examine:
- Lessons learnt in 2011 and why these weren’t widely adopted
- How functions have responded to coronavirus and what they have learnt
- Whether the latest technologies can help cut through complex supply chains and provide deeper insights
- How procurement can turn this into an opportunity to deliver on wider business strategies
