Authored By Han Law. Uncertain global environments around trade and other geo-political events have made agile supply chains the difference between a firm’s success, survival, or failure. However, traditional risk management practices have not been very effective. This is because of poor visibility, high data latency, and the unstructured nature of data present in many of today’s distributed supply chain networks.
