President Biden’s directive to review supply chain risks and industrial bases is designed to address vulnerabilities decades in the making — and could lead to structural changes that end the ‘good run’ of lowest-cost sourcing.

Many people might not be able to access a coronavirus (COVID-19) vaccine — a shortage of glass vials is predicted to create a bottleneck for the vaccine’s delivery.
With COVID-19 vaccines on the way, ‘the end is within sight’ — but companies and supply chains could be navigating a fundamentally different economic terrain after the pandemic haze clears.
As supply management roles evolve and become more strategic, such skills as collaboration, communication, analytics capabilities and business acumen are necessary to increase the function’s value and impact.

The coronavirus pandemic — the latest in a litany of inventory-threatening supply chain disruptions — has led to calls to break the glass on a new model: from just-in-time to just-in-case, or something in between.
Electricity, gas and water companies are seeking more powerful risk management as the coronavirus pandemic leads to increased cyberattacks aimed at their workers and supply chains.
At some point, analytics will again be more about strategy than survival, providing an opportunity to reevaluate metrics and how they can measure procurement’s contributions to overall business goals.
