Supply Chain Disruption Vulnerability

It wasn’t that long ago that the global economy was practically shut down. A series of cascading events beginning with the shutdown of factories at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, followed by the reduction of semiconductor chip production throughout Asia, the Suez Canal blockage, and ships queued up for weeks at Long Beach, exposed the weaknesses in our global supply chains.

Unfortunately, supply chain disruptions will continue to surprise us, whether from natural and man-made disasters, geo-political strife, cyberattacks, transportation issues, or who knows what else. As a smaller manufacturer, you are more vulnerable to global supply chain disruptions than larger companies. Having to pay more for materials, parts or shipping is a difficult dynamic as you may not be able to absorb short-term
losses or even lower margins.

Check the “Health” of Your Supply Chain

The key to continuity, and survival, is to be prepared. We want to help you get ready for future disruptions. VMEC’s Business Growth Advisor – Supply Chain Mark O’Hearn works with Vermont manufacturers to assess areas critical to building and maintaining a strong supply chain.

Because the United States has invested in a strategy to improve the performance and resilience of our domestic supply chains, we can offer our Supply Chain Assessment at no cost to you. Following the assessment, we will provide a “Supply Chain Health Report” identifying gaps and offering recommendations related to:

Supplier management
Risk management
Forecasting & Inventory Management
Regulatory Compliance & Sustainability
Foreign Sourcing
Cybersecurity

supply chain disruption, and become more competitive, through the application of supply chain best practices.
