that are driving an increasing imperative to reduce waste and emissions. These headwinds impose new constraints on operations, drive complexity and unveil hidden vulnerabilities, fundamentally changing the balance of supply and demand in the process. It is no surprise that global value chain failures are becoming more commonplace in such a challenging business environment

whitePaper | October 26, 2022

The COVID-19 pandemic was a test of supply chain resiliency and most organizations fell short. Before COVID-19, global supply chains ticked a lot of boxes: lower labor and operating costs, wider product ranges and greater reach to new markets. But the vulnerabilities and visible failures of global supply chains during COVID-19 were there for all to see. Lead times expanded exponentially. Manufacturing capacity stalled.
