New report considers importance of supply chain resilience in light of continuing global uncertainty
Supply chains must be more flexible and adaptable to react to unforeseen events
Businesses that embrace technology can gain an advantage by improving the speed, quality and cost-effectiveness of their operations

Goodman has launched a report exploring the role of the supply chain as global disruptions and geopolitical issues highlight the need for greater flexibility.

The report, ‘Building supply chain resilience’, explores the strategies businesses are using to increase agility and maintain a competitive edge. From diversifying supply chains to guarantee minimum levels of supply and improve reliability, to a growing demand for strategically located logistics networks that can support the efficient delivery of goods – there are challenges but also opportunities for businesses willing to invest.

Charles Crossland, Managing Director at Goodman UK, said:

“The focus on supply chains remains high with global uncertainty, cost-of-living pressures and labour shortages continuing to affect sourcing, production, procurement and logistics.

“At Goodman, our customers are looking at how they can maximise productivity and efficiency, while continuing to meet rising delivery and service expectations. We’re seeing them focus on sustainable properties that are close to consumers and optimised for their investments in automation and technology.

The ‘Building supply chain resilience’ report shares some of the best independent research looking into how businesses are mitigating risks and planning for a more resilient future. It highlights how the supply chain must be open to new ways of working so that operations can be better prepared and ready to react to unforeseen events, as well as adapt to changing consumer trends.”

The report also draws on how companies that embrace strategic locations and technology can gain a competitive advantage. It explores how the impact of digitisation, automation and artificial intelligence (AI) is expected to take operations to the next level, and why “the manual supply chain of yesterday can no longer serve the customer of today on its own.”
