The Business Case for Preparedness
Supply Chain Resiliency Can Be Critical to Ongoing Revenue Generation
May 24, 2008 12:10 AM
The timely receipt of goods and services from sources outside your organization are critical to ongoing revenue generation.
"Risky Business: Failing to Assess Supply Chain Continuity", Chael Porier & Brian Zawada, Disaster Resource Guide, 2007
Key Points:
* Following a disaster or business interruption, the organizations that survive will be those with a defined strategy in place, have accurately anticipated and planned for contingencies, and understand the cost metrics associated with their strategy. Organizations relying on the timely receipt of goods and services to continue revenue generating production view supply chain continuity as a critical business continuity management component."
* All in all, the business continuity process that focuses exclusively on internal operations fails to manage many of the risks leading to business interruption."
