Supply chain disruption

Supply chain disruption represents a major threat to business. Over the years, supply chains have become longer and more complex, while the severity and frequency of supply chain disruption is increasing. Natural disasters and extreme weather conditions are not the only threats to supply chains. Other events such as insolvency of suppliers and customers as well as changes in market circumstances also pose serious risks. 

Failure to properly take account of these risks may have serious consequences for businesses, including the potential for costly legal proceedings. It is therefore vitally important for businesses to understand the risks posed by supply chain disruption and to consider ways in which they can be mitigated or avoided altogether.
