Crises in the supply chain can occur suddenly. How well prepared are you? Do you have solid contingency plans or do you tend to react spontaneously?
-Very well, with clear contingency plans
-Adequate, with some measures
-Barely prepared, with large gaps
-Not prepared at all
Share your strategies and help others to better prepare for disruptions. Vote and discuss your approaches to crisis management.
That's an interesting point, but I wonder how realistic it is to be prepared for all possible scenarios in practice. Many companies have contingency plans that look good in theory but often don't work in reality.
It is true that many plans can fail in practice. But that doesn't mean we shouldn't strive to continuously improve them. Sustainable and resilient supply chains are not only possible, they are also necessary.
That may be the case, but I often see companies only reacting when problems occur instead of being proactive. A strong contingency plan can only be effective if it is regularly tested and updated.
Absolutely. Regular tests and updates are important. In addition, cooperation with partners and suppliers should also be taken into account in crisis management in order to develop joint solutions.
That is true. But the reality is often that many companies don't foster this collaboration or lack the resources to properly implement contingency plans. Perhaps it's time to focus on real, actionable strategies.
Good preparation for supply disruptions is crucial, especially in times when sustainability and environmental awareness are becoming increasingly important. Contingency plans should also consider ecological risks in order to minimize the impact on the environment.
