Understanding your supply chain is a critical factor in reopening and ensuring you can meet the demands of your customers. Begin by reviewing the questions below and then the topic-specific resources.
Are your inventory, supplies, and equipment adequate? Do you have a sufficient, resilient supply chain in place to operate? Do you need to cancel/postpone current orders or delay purchasing new supply/inventory?
Have you connected with each vendor, supplier, and member of your supply chain?
Do you have a clear picture of each link in your mission-critical supply chain?
Have you clearly communicated your needs and expectations to your suppliers?
Is there a need to renegotiate pricing or payment terms with those in your supply chain?
Do you have defined alternatives in the event that one or more of your suppliers is unable to meet your needs?
Is there a plan in place for continuously analyzing the performance of your supply chain?
