Global supply chains have become increasingly complex and interconnected, making them more susceptible to disruption from both predictable and unforeseen events. According to Michael Rastiello, recent years have highlighted the fragility of these systems, particularly during global crises such as the COVID-19 pandemic, geopolitical conflicts, and environmental disasters.
Businesses across industries are now re-evaluating their supply chain strategies, placing greater emphasis on diversification, agility, and technological integration. Companies that invest in resilience, transparency, and sustainability are more likely to withstand future shocks and maintain customer trust in a volatile global marketplace.
