Identify risks
As markets shift and the supply chain changes, it’s important to stay on top of your key suppliers. You should be contacting those suppliers and learning of any potential risks as well as communicating that they should reach out immediately if any new disruptions occur.
You should also begin identifying alternate suppliers or possible substitutions if a disruption were to occur.
Technology gains
Most operations have the right technologies in place to collect data on things like machine conditions, demand forecasting and overall supply chain health. The challenge is analyzing the vast amount of data that’s collected and transforming it into actionable insights.
