How to build profitable Supply Chain Resilience

Supply chain resilience has made it as a TOP-theme on Board agendas across sectors and regions. However, not only the resilience itself is desired and difficult to achieve. Resilience that comes with lower profitability affects current and future competitiveness. We have developed an approach to make supply chains resilient and optimize those from an economic point of view.

Lack of transparency – most companies are flying blind

TSETINIS-EFESO project experience shows that while potential risks are known, most companies fail to avoid and mitigate them properly. The key success factor and starting point for building resilience is the creation of full transparency throughout the entire supply chain, all the way to the refinery or mine. Yet, this is already where the majority of firms fail.

WHAT are the relevant elements of the supply chain? (suppliers, customers)
WHERE are the identified elements of the supply chain located? (production sites, warehouses, …)
HOW are the elements connected?

Managing resilience requires a structured and fact-based approach

Major threats to supply chains are largely unknown. Fundamental core issues should be addressed – in a consistent and fact-based manner.

1. What exactly does the supply chain network look like?
2. How high is the existing risk exposure?
3. What are suitable measures to avoid/mitigate risks?
4. How should strategic SC resilience be built in the organization?
