Building supply chain resilience mitigation to face the threat of global economic recession
The supply chain is a series of economic activity processes that link several actors to increase the added value of raw materials or products and distribute them to consumers. Its main objective ultimately is increasing added value. To this end, each actor in the chain network contributes in the form of specific inputs or processes that can increase the value of a product. The supply chain can aid in increasing competitiveness and profits and building good relationships between its constituent actors.
Supply chain resilience refers to the adaptive capability of the supply chain to prepare for unforeseen events, respond to disruptions, and recover from them while maintaining continuity of operations at the desired level of connectedness and control over structure and function.
