Risk & Quality Management
Global supply chain risks result from a variety of factors including inadequate or poor product quality testing and supplier management programs. The volatile socio-economic climate coupled with the constantly changing regulatory demands from governments at all levels has created an environment where strong risk mitigation practices are not only a competitive advantage, but a critical lifeline for brand survival. Brand manufacturers and retailers must take measures to help ensure accountability and full supply chain transparency.
With a single supply chain disruption or tragedy having the ability to negatively impact a company’s brand reputation, it is critical for brands to have a more proactive and responsive global supply chain.
