How proactive planning mitigates supply risk

'Lead-times are increasing to 40+ weeks and prices are sky rocketing'

A sentence that creates panic in the mind of businesses and supply chain professionals worldwide as minds cast back to a few years ago.

And it's reappearing now as memory market conditions worsen amidst rapidly increasing AI and server demand.

But it doesn't have to cause panic if you plan correctly. How can this be achieved?

Supply Chain has seen a mindset shift over the past few years from transactional day-to-day operations to long term strategy and risk mitigation planning. Key activities now include:

- BOM analysis to identify critical parts.

- Supplier analysis to identify critical suppliers.

- Regular market condition analysis and reporting.

- Dual sourcing suppliers both upstream and downstream.

This shift in workload can be managed by established businesses, but if you're a start-up or scale-up, you may not have the manpower.

This is where we come in. We can parachute into your business, identify strengths and weaknesses within your supply chain network, review these against market conditions for your sector and suggest and implement strategies to provide long-term supply security and resilience.
