From Disruption to Delivery: Supply Chain Crisis Management examines how organisations respond to and recover from major supply chain disruptions caused by global shocks, disasters, or geopolitical instability. It highlights key strategies such as risk assessment, supplier diversification, digital visibility, and agile logistics planning to maintain continuity and ensure timely delivery. The focus is on building resilient, flexible supply chains capable of adapting quickly and sustaining operations during crises.
