While traditional supply chains are facing a more serious slew of unprecedented challenges, the modern supply chains are not spared either. Covid19 has exposed the vulnerabilities and the fragility of the existing supply chain ecosystem. The present situation has forced supply chain leaders to re-think existing strategies and mitigate bottlenecks arising due to dependencies on a geographical region, end to end traceability, a shift in consumer’s priorities, etc.
We have witnessed the growing adoption of Artificial intelligence and machine learning in the supply chain over the last few years, yet many organizations are still at the initial adoption stage.

The above, however, is not an exhaustive list. Organizations are now looking for distributing workforce and business hubs to reduce overdependence on a particular country/region. We have witnessed and experienced the drawbacks of global dependence on China as the manufacturing hub.
Technologies like blockchain are still niche and not adopted by most organizations. Blockchain in the supply chain is becoming popular for smart contracts management and an end to end visibility of the process. Our best hope is to learn from the current situation and prepare ourselves for the worst!
