This exercise enables the organization to understand the strengths and weaknesses of its supply chain. Flexibility in the supply chain provides a critical foundation to manage resiliency in the event of disruption. Choose a minimum of four of the twelve examples of flexibility (energy flexibility, volume flexibility, order lead time flexibility, scheduling flexibility, product configuration/variety flexibility, physical flexibility, capacity flexibility, design flexibility, internal routing flexibility, logistics flexibility, source/location flexibility, workforce flexibility, material flexibility and supply chain flexibility) and summarize their content, role and expected outcomes for an organization. Feel free to research companies and provide examples of how companies apply some of the examples that you’ve offered.
