| | August 20204EditorialWith COVID-19 global pandemic coming into our lives, the procurement teams are struggling to cope. Meanwhile, most have been trying to keep up with the news about global response measures and have been working meticulously to secure raw materials and components and protect supply lines. However, crucial information is often not available or accessible across their global teams. This gives way to a reactive and uncoordinated response to the disruption, and the impact of the crisis is hitting many of their companies full force.On the contrary, a small minority of companies invested in mapping their supply networks before the pandemic emerged better prepared. They have better visibility into the structure of their supply chains. Instead of scrambling at the last minute, they have a lot of information at their fingertips within minutes of a potential disruption. They know exactly which suppliers, sites, parts, and products are at risk, which allows them to put themselves first in line to secure constrained inventory and capacity at alternate sites.During black swan events like coronavirus, a clear understanding of risk can help organizations establish the right plan in the face of the unexpected. Without a doubt, companies have an arduous task ahead of them to recover from this viral outbreak.The present outbreak provides valuable lessons for companies in general and Indian companies in particular. It is likely that corporate strategy would also look to build a robust inventory as buffer against supply chain disruptions. We at CIOReview India are right there on the same page.
