Supply Chain Briefing

Every client is experiencing unprecedented disruption! Unfortunately, one had to shutdown since their product is considered non-essential. Most others continue to operate to varying levels. Most manufacturers and distributors are considered critical because they supply defense, the construction/ building industry, the food and beverage industry or the healthcare/ medical products industry. 

However, it is NEVER that simple. It matters the type of business/ consumer your customers’ customers serve. For example, in one of my food clients, since many Starbucks stores are closed, the products they sell into this channel are down whereas, the products they sell into grocery stores are up. And this is just the customer side of the equation. Do you know who your suppliers’ suppliers’ suppliers are? They are likely impacting your level of disruption.
