Introduction
In this presentation we will start with background information on the evolution of Supply Chain Resilience (SCR) and the evolution over the years.
Next we will see the SCR triangle and its sectors.
After that the ripple effect is the countermeasure to it.
Finally, we will study real-life business examples, business scenarios and best practices to get a complete view of the topic.
Learning Objectives
• Learn how to define Supply Chain Resilience
• Understanding how Supply Chain Resilience can be used to both maximise opportunities and minimise threats
• Understanding the principles and processes of Ripple Effect
