"Supply chain leaders now find themselves in an unfamiliar position: they have the attention of top management and a mandate to make real change"
McKinsey 2024
Rising inflation, tax and regulatory pressures, and geopolitical uncertainty are impacting margins across the board for both retailers and manufacturers. And with operations ranking as the largest cost driver in 2024 (BCG, 2024), mitigating the impact of supply chain disruptions across the business has become a critical issue that demands a unified response.
However, despite years of strategic focus on building supply chain resilience, many gaps remain (McKinsey, 2024). Fragmented data systems, siloed technology, and outdated manual processes create vulnerabilities that can ripple across entire business units. And the outcome is the risk of higher costs, lower quality and disappointing experiences for customers.
For those not ready, a minor supply chain disruption can become a major setback. So, how can businesses implement both short-term strategies to address immediate issues and long-term solutions to build lasting resilience?
