Supply Chain Resiliency and the Need for Stress-Tests

The global pandemic has exposed serious flaws in supply chains, including critical ones for industries such as pharma and medical supplies. Shortages of personal protective equipment for health workers and ventilators in hospitals are the most prominent ones. To prevent this problem from occurring again when the next disaster strikes, governments should consider establishing a stress test for companies that provide critical goods and services that's akin to the stress tests for banks that the U.S. government and European Union instituted after the 2008 financial crisis. This test should focus on the resilience of companies' supply chains. 

During this webinar Professor, David Simchi-Levi, Engineering Systems and Director of the MIT Data Science Lab at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, will discuss the following topics:

•  MIT's supply chain mapping & risk exposure model 
•  Supply chain mapping and building recovery and resilience 
•  Stress testing the Supply Chain

This session would be beneficial for Supply Chain, Manufacturing & Purchasing Leaders.
