The social and political scenario is constantly evolving, especially in relation to the levels of risk exposure that can be tolerate: for this reason it is essential to have a supply chain that is able to adapt promptly to the inputs that arrive.
The Boston Consulting Group, a US multinational strategic consulting firm, has published a report analyzing how the health crisis has affected the global supply chain and suggesting some strategies to make logistics more resilient.
Be aware of what is happening and adapt accordingly
Being always updated on what is happening not only in your sector, but also globally, is the first step to be able to respond in a targeted and effective way to changes in the market and geopolitical situation. Not being afraid to change and being ready if the situation requires it is the first step to resilient logistics.
Identify the risk and prepare action plans
Since it is impossible to eliminate the risk completely, a good way to deal with it is to fragment it. In order to do this, it is essential to know what the drivers of your warehouse performance are and what risks they may run, so that you always have them under control and, if they do occur, manage them most effectively through targeted action plans.
Simulate crisis scenarios
Understanding the risks is not enough, it is also important to do real simulations to understand how the supply chain can react to negative situations. The hypothesized crisis scenario should not only concern your reality, but also other “friend” networks, in order to understand how to manage a possible domino effect.
Always check the data
Monitoring data allows you to create a useful history for the future and check in real time what is working and what could be improved. Having the data under constant control allows, together with the analysis of the contingent situation, to know in time how to move.
