摘要：It is estimated that almost three quarters of organisations experience a supply chain disruption each year, an event that impacts the flow of goods, materials and/ or services, thereby limiting the ability of an organisation to serve the end consumer. The disruptions felt by supply chains are wide ranging. For example, while some originate from within the supply chain, such as a production line break down, IT problems, demand fluctuations, sustainability issues or quality problems, others are external and due, amongst other causes, to labour strikes, regulatory changes, weather conditions, financial turbulence, terrorism and counterfeiting. This breadth of threat also reminds us that disruptions can be man-made and somewhat controllable or a result of the natural environment and consequently more unpredictable. Meanwhile, the performance impact of such events is also dependent on the severity and duration of the disruption as well as on the supply chain’s competency and experience in dealing with disruptions and threats.
