Establish Supply Chain Risk Management Strategy

Gartner provided the supply chain leader at an automotive technology company with the support needed to assess, report on and mitigate key supply chain risks.

Strategic guidance from Gartner analysts on managing fast-evolving, global supply chain disruptions like the semiconductor shortage. The head of supply chain thought having market intelligence reports would help, but they aren’t actionable, can become dated quickly as conditions change, and are narrowly focused on just one risk. Strategic guidance can form the basis for a comprehensive supply chain risk management strategy.
