Finding the Weak Links in Global Supply Chain Risks
If just one link in the complex web of interdependent relationships falters, the entire supply chain may unravel, with consequent interruptions in manufacturing, productivity and distribution, disruptions in cash flow and credit, repercussions with customers, and other financial miseries. Hear how companies are solidifying the supply chain to decrease "ripple effect" damage, and learn about best practices for proactively integrating suppliers into business continuity risk management planning.
