In the wake of recent environmental disasters, many companies feel the need to have a “resilient supply chain”. A resilient supply chain can mitigate risks and reduce the effect of catastrophes.

• Gain visibility beyond the enterprise into supplier and partner networks
• Right size inventories to buffer, sole source or regional risks
• Establish a plan of record to compare against and provide exception management
• Incorporate risk strategies into the sales and operations planning process
