Recent events shows they are pretty rubbish says, disaster experts

Recent events – such as the Suez Canal blockage and logistic problems with COVID-19 vaccine production – have underlined the need for organisations to build more resilient supply chains. According to disaster recovery and business continuity specialist Databarracks, this means working in partnership with suppliers and carrying out joint exercises in order to identify and address weak points before they become a bigger problem.

Peter Groucutt, Managing Director at Databarracks, said: “When a tanker blocks the Suez Canal, it gives a very clear visual of the impact on the supply chain. But the supply chain can also be hampered in thousands of smaller, less obvious ways. The global semiconductor shortage, for example, is being driven by more subtle factors like rising demand and limited manufacturing capacity. It’s a similar story for the PlayStation 5 console, which is proving difficult for consumers to get hold of almost six months after release.
