ISM-Rochester Lunch & Learn Webinar: Dealing with Shortages & Disruptions
Supply chain professionals know shortages and other disruptions are challenges they will deal with. They come in many forms, and many sizes, but are always lurking and can happen at any moment, for a myriad of reasons. The challenge is not if they will happen, but when and in what magnitude, and the real skill is in preparing for them and managing through them. In this talk you will learn:
• Common types of disruptions
• Factors that contribute to impacts from disruptions
• Impacts and ways to measure / assess
• Actions to take – prevention, short-term and longer-term management
