The ongoing coronavirus pandemic and its extraordinary impact on humans and businesses forces us to rethink existing supply chain practices. The traditional approaches will work until they are not disrupted. Conventional supply chain approaches may need to be re-examined for ensuring the security of goods and services for sustainability and customer satisfaction. Organizations may need to collaborate with their suppliers to manage demand and supply shocks and gain visibility into extended supplier network to replenish stock in a timely manner. Organizations may also need to have a robust contract management system in place that can easily track Force Majeure clauses and mitigate risks or legal actions for non-compliance.
