Supply Chain Resilience

Operate with confidence

Achieve end-to-end supply network resiliency through enhanced intelligence, monitoring, and management of supply chain operations with Deloitte's next-generation managed services. Our global team of supply chain specialists, technology, insights, and advanced AI can help you unlock greater value and thrive amidst disruptions.

Creating more intelligent and reliable supply chains

Supply chain disruptions seem to be inevitable and everywhere. From global events, natural disasters, and cyber-attacks to an increasing focus on supply chain compliance, organizations may be looking for better ways to proactively identify, respond, and recover when supply shocks occur. Even as the marketplace is flooded with third party risk management tools, internal supply chain teams are often faced with an information deluge and may be unable to clearly understand the “so-what” insights to help prioritize response actions. Supply chain resilience is a business capability that requires bringing together the right people, processes, and tools.

We offer a suite of Supply Chain Resilience next-generation managed services, leveraging experience across data, analytics, supply chain, industry knowledge, change management, regulatory and compliance. Through these services, we help supply chain risk management teams to minimize time spent on data analysis, cut through the noise, and focus efforts on risk mitigation execution.

Here are some of the risk domains we monitor and respond to:

Global events

Political events and situations that occurs across borders can impact supply networks for many reasons. Shipping routes, logistics, delivery of physical products can all be affected by geopolitical disruptions.

Commodity

Global demand and supply for commodities, raw materials, component, etc. are dependent on each other. Being able to figure out potential shortages and limited supplies for any materials or goods ahead of time gives you more time to act.

Labor challenges

Labor strikes, shortages, or even laws affecting labor can impact business operations.

Natural disasters

Floods, earthquakes, tornadoes, and other natural disasters can be challenging to predict. These can impact delivery time, impact transportation, and even damage infrastructure.

Infrastructure and logistics risk

An organization’s infrastructure and logistics can be easily impacted by a variety of challenges and disasters.

Financial and operational risk

Sudden increases in business costs, changes in currency, and even financial and operational challenges of suppliers can impact an organization’s supply network.

Environmental, social and governance (ESG)

More and more organizations are trying to hit ESG targets and goals on a global level, which can pose new challenges to supply chains.

Technology and cybersecurity

Outdated technology and systems make it harder to meet the challenges of running efficient and resilient supply networks. Cybersecurity disasters, such as data breaches, malware, hacking, etc. can also be highly disruptive.
