Over the last decade, companies have invested millions of dollars in enhancing and transforming their supply chains. Since the pandemic, these efforts have accelerated as supply chain disruptions have increased in both frequency and magnitude.

Particular focus has been placed on improving supply chain planning/execution processes and systems for enhanced agility, as well as supply chain tier mapping and risk management to improve resiliency. The key question is, are multi-tier supply chain mapping and risk management programs alone enough to build resilient supply chains? Two key building blocks - supply chain transparency and visibility - continue to vex companies due to:

· Lack of trust

· Individual companies going at it alone. It’s an industry problem, not an individual company problem.

· Lack of an industry-wide, broadly enforced, and accepted tier mapping visibility standard for pervasive, effective, and transparent tier mapping. We are blind without multi-tier visibility.

· Lack of an anonymized, aggregated view of individual company tier maps at the industry and commodity levels to enable companies to act on disruptions across the global supply base that have a ripple effect on individual supply bases.

This panel of supply chain experts will explore what lies beyond multi-tier supply chain mapping and risk management and identify the specific, industry wide capabilities needed to address this problem.
