A New Study on Supply-Chain Risk

ImpactFactor recently completed a study on supply-chain risk, surveying managers of more than 100 companies. The results were not encouraging. According to managing director Bill McBeath, many companies don't consider proactive risk-management to be a strategic tool. He was "shocked" at how level their level of investment in that area was, with half reporting expenditures of $50,000 or less to audit and assess suppliers. "Not a single one spent more than $3m," he says. "Given the huge potential impact [of risk] on their shares, we believe companies are seriously under-investing."

Preparing for Risks and Disruptions

Analyst Insight: While the global economy continues to remain sluggish, there is still a rising demand for new products, sources and markets. Nearly all multinational corporations (MNCs) have learned more about globalization and the risks and rewards that come with it. But MNCs and middle market companies still struggle with supply chain disruptions, higher costs of logistics, and issues caused by longer lead times. Supply chain managers have to plan and execute better globally. At the same time, more effective strategies and methods are evolving to overcome these challenges and achieve profitable growth. - Gene Tyndall, EVP Global Solutions, Tompkins International
