Bridging the gap
Supply chain processes that run like a well-oiled machine form the backbone of any retail outlet. When the Covid-19 pandemic hit, many of these processes suffered due to the lockdown and transport restrictions. However, the effect of another such outbreak can be mitigated with appropriate preparation. Identifying the processes that are the worst hit in a disease outbreak and making contingency plans for them is no longer a luxury for retailers. As the world gears up to live in the new normal, robust supply chain processes that can survive a large-scale outbreak should be the norm.
