Improving the Resilience of your Supply Chain


Improving the Resilience of your Supply Chain - OR3090

Course Description:


Improving the Resilience of your Supply Chain is the ninth course in the Essentials of Organizational Resilience Series. Threats to your supply chain and therefore to your organization abound – their likelihood and consequences heightened by long, global supply chains, ever-shrinking product cycles, and volatile and unpredictable market cycles.

Supply chains are increasingly at risk of disruption and it can be argued that the greatest risks to business continuity lie in the wider supply chain of key suppliers and customers (or more correctly supply/demand networks) rather than within the company itself. Yet for the vast majority of organizations, business continuity planning
remains a one-firm focused activity.

It is important to take a systems view of your organization, recognizing that there are multiple interdependencies within and between different organizations that influence their ability to respond and recover. This means that effective resilience management
for any one organization must look beyond that single organization and consider the resilience of other organizations upon which it depends.

The emerging field of supply chain event management is potentially of great value in managing operational disruptions. Improving the Resilience of your Supply Chain takes a close look at the latest research on how organizations can and should build resilient organizations by improving the resilience of their supply chains.
