Thought Leadership
As a trusted authority in supply chain risk management, Interos and its team members serve as a leading source of insight and guidance for Government decision-makers, supply chain managers, and other solution providers. This section is devoted to Interos-published papers as well as resources that Interos has compiled that provide compelling perspectives on key topics in Supply Chain Risk Management.
Risk Preemption and Mitigation
To excel at Supply Chain Risk Management, Government agencies will need a comprehensive approach – one that draws on leading strategies, methods and modeling techniques. This approach will enhance supply chain decision-making, while optimizing and securing the flow of vital resources. But agencies should take incremental steps now to lay a foundation for achieving supply chain excellence. As they learn to effectively identify, prioritize, preempt, mitigate and monitor risks, they’ll see related benefits in terms of cost reduction and performance improvement. They will be bringing a new level of protection, intelligence and resiliency to their supply chains.
Modeling and Simulation
In today’s global market, organizations must manage and influence the entire supply chain to achieve success. World-class organizations now realize that non-integrated manufacturing processes, non-integrated distribution processes and poor relationships with suppliers and customers will undermine their success. They realize the impact of an organization’s plan on the other areas of the supply chain. The impact of an organization’s plan on the whole supply chain is unpredictable before its execution. Modeling and simulation permits the evaluation of operating performance prior to the execution of a plan. In the practical application of this concept, the development of the simulation model for Supply Chain Management has become a necessity. What’s needed most is experts to support an agency’s use of modeling tools, analysis of its supply chain, and implementation of recommendations.
