“Understanding the risk of disruptions in your supply chain takes time, planning and continuous assessment. In every instance, it’s important to ensure that you have the information needed to manage the delay and deploy a mitigation strategy,” she said. “Assess your risk during times of potential disruptions such as hurricanes or other inclement weather in conjunction with suppliers to understand their business continuity plan.”
