Supplies surprise

Aug 17, 2012 | Blogs

Change your mind!

You thought supply chain was just about environmental disaster and dodgy labour practices?

Wrong!

A recent EEF publication Be Prepared looks at the increasing importance of ensuring resilience in the supply chain.

It’s potentially scary stuff.

Globalisation in the supply chain may have increased opportunity. It has also increased risk. What’s worse the risk doesn’t seem always to be brilliantly or systematically managed.

Whoa! Scary!

So what should a sustainable company do? Manage the issue.

Maybe it’s time for a bit of a revival of the long-term supplier relationship.

 

After all not everything worth having in life can be purchased in an on-line auction.
