Default Developing a supply chain risk management strategy

Kinaxis has just published a new white paper entitled “Essential characteristics of a supply chain risk management strategy.”

Below is an abstract for the paper:
Since the early part of this decade, supply chain risk management has become increasingly more recognized as a critical part of corporate strategy. The move to leaner, global supply chains and events such as severe weather and financial instability have highlighted the risk of disrupted supply. Traditional approaches to supply chain risk management have focused on risk assessment and mitigation; but there is another side. Despite the best planning and preparation, not all events can be anticipated. When unplanned events occur, a company must be prepared to respond quickly and effectively or risk suffering financial and customer service losses.

Read this whitepaper to learn more about the capabilities required to support the two sides of supply chain risk management – mitigation and response.

You can download the white paper for free here.

Randy Littleson is a Vice President for Kinaxis, provider of the on-demand RapidResponse service that empowers multi-enterprise manufacturers with the collaborative and integrated demand-supply planning, monitoring, and response capabilities.
