ASCM Tampa Bay invites you to join Peter J Blok, a certified APICS instructor and Lean Six Sigma Black Belt, for a presentation discussing Supply Chain Risk Management on Tuesday, January 11th.

The COVID-19 disaster has put supply chains on the front page of every newspaper in the world. The availability of everything from toilet tissue to holiday gifts seems to have been compromised. While this is the latest and perhaps most dramatic illustration of supply chain vulnerabilities it's certainly not unique. Since biblical times supply chains have had disruptions, and some of those disruptions have had disastrous consequences.

As supply chain professionals, we tend to deal with minor disruptions in stride, handling them as part of our daily jobs. As supply chains have become global, their vulnerabilities have increased and have become increasingly difficult to identify and mitigate.

This presentation will discuss some of the tools and techniques you can use to preemptively identify potential risk factors. We'll also discuss some of the processes you can establish and maintain to help minimize the impact of disruptions.

This presentation takes the position that risk preparedness and response is a company-wide team effort. While supply chain professionals should take a leadership role, almost every other operating department has a role to play in risk management. We'll discuss some of the major players and how you can recruit them for your preparedness efforts.
