Supply Chain Challenges
0 out of 20
An effective supply chain strategy is crucial for sustaining business operations, maintaining customer trust, and achieving long-term objectives. It ensures resilience, efficiency, and agility across the organization. When the board remains inactive in addressing supply chain challenges, it risks undermining stakeholders’ confidence in the company’s ability to adapt and remain competitive.
Possible Negative Effects

Without a clear supply chain strategy, the organization may lack direction in managing risks, disruptions, and resource allocation, leading to confusion and inefficiencies.
-
Inadequate planning and oversight can result in poor allocation of financial, human, and logistical resources, ultimately affecting overall performance and resilience.

Failure to adapt to supply chain risks, such as geopolitical shifts, supplier instability, or global crises, may weaken competitiveness and trust with customers and partners.
