Manufacturing hit hardest by supply chain failure
New research published today by the Business Continuity Institute and supported by Zurich Insurance reveals that manufacturing is being hardest hit by supply chain failure
Manufacturers have reported a 58% increase in disruption to their supply chains over the last 12 months; this compares to 35% across all industry sectors. The report on the research entitled "Supply Chain Resilience" surveyed 201 organizations across all sectors, industries and locations where they had operations.
The objective of the research was to understand levels of supply chain disruption being experienced, the impact of the disruption and what organizations were doing to tackle the problem and, in particular, the extent to which the Business Continuity Management (BCM) methodology was being used to deal with the impact of such disruption.
