State of Supply Chain Resilience – Ensuring Supply Continuity in a Brittle, Anxious, Non-Linear, and Incomprehensible World

Item Type Monograph (Work Report)
Abstract Based on an extensive survey with 100 Procurement professionals across various industries in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland, the Procurement Initiative captures viewpoints regarding company-specific capabilities and vulnerabilities in building supply chain resilience. The figures – that confirm our pre-defined hypotheses – paint an evocative portrait of a Procurement function in a stranglehold between short-term (e.g. building inventory to ensure supply continuity) and long-term perspectives (e.g. nearshoring to boost sustainability). This is happening although legislation (e.g. the German Supply Chain Act) mandates a long-term perspective (e.g. alignment with the 1.5 C target). In this field of tension between necessary short-term and long-term perspectives, Procurement has the opportunity to take responsibility and navigate the strategic course.
