Supply chain video: Managing Supply Chain in a Tough Economy (Part 4)

Filed in archive Supply chain video on February 28, 2009

Here comes the forth and last part of the video "Managing the supply chain in a tough economy". This part features Rob Handfield's last messages for treating the recession. He believes that this recession is different from whatever we have seen before therefore it should be treated differently.

He recommends senior managers to ask their team to do a quick analysis of supply based, demand side and identify vulnerabilities. The next step after would be to draft a plan including contingencies. And at last managers should create a sense of urgency to be able to go through the difficult times.
