Supply chains have experienced sustained disruption in recent years due to factors including the pandemic, human resource scarcity, climate change and geo-political tensions. As the future promises further disruption, the need to increase efficiency and resilience has never been greater.
Supply chain disruption has dominated the minds and actions of supply chain executives and their staff over recent years. Meeting day-to-day business needs, in a time of multifactorial challenges, diminishes businesses’ capacity. Therefore, the challenge is how to address existing issues and/or evolve their supply chains to meet future market requirements, such as increased sustainability requirements or the automation that Industry 4.0 will bring.
The cross-functional nature of supply chains increases the complexity of this challenge. Supply chain improvements must be identified, scoped, approved and implemented without disruption to business outputs. This presents a significant challenge to any business - how to develop the expertise and provide the capacity to address existing issues, whilst simultaneously evolving their supply chains.
