Supply chain network design has never been more critical than in today’s uncertain global landscape. Disruptions continue to rise—natural disasters, labor disruptions, and geopolitical conflict highlight how fragile traditional supply chain designs have become. Outdated networks were conceived in stable, predictable conditions that no longer exist in today’s VUCA environment.
Prioritizing network design in your supply chain is essential for staying competitive in the face of continued uncertainty. To ensure the flexibility needed to stay agile, companies must regularly examine the design of their supply chain. This analysis allows businesses to configure their network and establish policies to guide planning and operations effectively. Rejecting the “set it and forget it” approach enables swift reactions in rapidly changing conditions. Well-designed supply chain networks quickly ramp up production and distribution during demand surges, minimizing delays and maximizing opportunities. Conversely, they can quickly scale down to help avoid unnecessary costs when demand decreases.
