The global supply chain is evolving—are you keeping up? Over the past two years, 73% of supply chain networks have shifted locations or added new partners (thanks, Gartner!). The name of the game has changed—now it’s all about resilience, agility, and flexibility—leaving behind the old focus on cost-efficiency. 🔄 Key drivers of this transformation: Diversification: Expanding to new locations with both current and new partners. Risk Management: Mitigating geopolitical risks and supply disruptions. Performance Gains: 90% of companies report improved service and cost reductions. 🌟 But challenges still exist: India: Struggling with logistics infrastructure. North America: Facing factory worker shortages. South Asia, Africa, Central/South America: Dealing with complex local regulations. 💬 Your thoughts: How can supply chain leaders overcome these regional challenges? #SupplyChain #Resilience #Agility #Flexibility #GlobalTrade #SupplyChainManagement #Logistics
