Impact on supply chains
Supply chain disruptions Impact on supply chains With the virus still a live threat and a number of regions and economies in lockdown, while others emerge into a very different world, the disruption to supply chains continues to be severe. As economies restart, the supply chain will be critical to supplying goods and services quickly, safely and securely. The repurposed and reshaped supply chains of the future will need to be characterized by both resilience and responsibility. These will help communities manage the short-term crisis and enable businesses to build around their customers and help economies rebound. 94% of Fortune 1000 companies are seeing supply chain disruptions from COVID-19 75% of companies have had negative or strongly negative impacts on their businesses. 55% of companies plan to downgrade their growth outlooks (or have already done so). Looking to the future Manufacturers must take a hard look at existing operating models – where and how work gets done (and for what reason), challenging legacy ways of working, and building in more transparency and intelligence across core workforce dimensions (ecosystem partners and the physical production network). These are essential steps for manufacturers to reshape themselves into digitally-enabled, resilient, and agile organizations.
