SUMMARY
Supply chain resilience is crucial for businesses to navigate uncertainties and risks, ensuring continuity despite disruptions. It involves anticipating, preparing for, and responding to challenges from both upstream and downstream operations. Key strategies for enhancing resilience include diversifying suppliers, improving visibility, and creating flexible supply chains. Flexibility enables companies to quickly adapt to changes, minimizing disruptions. Together, these elements help build a robust supply chain capable of adapting to unexpected changes and maintaining performance in volatile.
