Supply Chain Risks
Supply chain managers today are increasingly concerned about supply chain risks. As supply chains become increasingly global and interconnected, they are more vulnerable to disruptions, due to more points for failure and less margin for error. The cost of supply chain disruptions can lead to lower profit, decreased sales, delayed shipments, lost customers and even damaged reputations.
In surveys of supply chain executives, the most frequent experiences of supply chain risks involve sudden demand change (i.e. the inability to manage sharp increases or decreases in demand), margin erosion (i.e. cost increases, lost revenue, taxes and regulation), physical product flow disruptions, product quality failure, and social responsibility failure.
These risks and experiences are no doubt affected by the ongoing challenges of growing customer expectations, short product cycles, compressed new product launch objectives, and emerging competitive challenges.
Not to be overlooked, supply chain personnel must be aware of the supply chain risks associated with industry skill gaps and the aging population.
