Supply Chain Risk: What Can We Learn From 2018 Challenges?
To prepare for the future, look to the past – especially when it comes to supply chain risks. Last year’s major hurdles, from extreme weather to cyber attacks to industry production shutdowns, will result in new trends for 2019, including trade wars, material shortages, and other headaches.
A recent report from DHL has examined last year’s major supply chain challenges to spot potential trends for 2019. Some of the key supply chain disruptors:
Trade flow – U.S. withdrawal from trade agreements including the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP) and the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), along with continuing confusion on Brexit-affected supply chains, contributed to uncertainty.
Cyber security – In 2018, a total of 65 cyber attacks directly impacted supply chain assets; among them, 10 involved manufacturing actors, six affected airports or airlines, five occurred at couriers or postal services, five at ports or shipping companies, and two applied to railways.
Extreme weather conditions – Most significantly, wildfires, drought, low water levels, and melting ice all contributed to operational impacts.
Looking ahead, the report highlights 10 top trends to watch:
