Abstract (De)
Supply chains have become more vulnerable to disruptive events due to a tightly interconnected world. Business continuity management plays a crucial role in reducing the impact of supply chain disruptions. Additionally, there is a growing awareness of the need to be prepared for tough challenges that can be identified using early indicators. When looking at supply chains, business continuity approaches often lack a supply chain orientation and are flawed. Thus, putting purpose first and supply chain continuity management by integrating the awareness of early indicators around it is vital to surviving in a VUCA world.
We identified barriers and drivers that need to be addressed to enhance the effectiveness of early indicators for the continuity of supply.
For practitioners, this paper identifies barriers and drivers to enhance the effectiveness of early indicators. Therefore, it provides practical guidelines for organizations to implement proactive measures when early indicators predict a supply chain disruption to come.
