Supply Chain Challenges

A strong supply chain strategy is essential for sustaining operations, maintaining customer trust, and achieving long-term goals. It enables resilience, efficiency, and agility across the organization. When the board does not actively engage in addressing supply chain challenges, it risks eroding stakeholder confidence and weakening the company’s competitive position.

 

Possible Negative Effects

• Without a defined supply chain strategy, the organization may lack clear direction to manage risks, disruptions, and resources, causing inefficiencies and confusion.

• Insufficient oversight may lead to poor allocation of financial, human, and logistical resources, undermining performance and resilience.

• Failure to prepare for risks—such as geopolitical shifts, supplier instability, or global crises—can damage competitiveness and erode trust with customers and partners.

 

Recommendations for Improvement

• Ensure the board regularly reviews supply chain risks, policies, and performance to align with strategic objectives.

• Engage external experts or consultants in supply chain management to provide insights, support scenario planning, and introduce best practices.

• Build monitoring frameworks that track supply chain resilience and direct resources to the most critical areas.
