Mold: The Unspoken Supply Chain Issue

Managing supply chain risk and disruption is currently one of the key priorities globally. In addition, many companies are rethinking their entire supply chain model, from raw materials to finished products. In that context, mold remains one of the issues that, while sometimes overlooked, may have an irreversible impact on different product types such as furniture made out of wood or natural materials, leather furniture and decorative items or soft and stuffed toys.

Sourcing Diversification: New Countries, New Risks

With the outbreak of COVID-19, it became clear for many companies that there was a need for diversification in their supply chain-sourcing base. Businesses worldwide have become dependent on China, but leaving the country is not an option for all of them. The trend of avoiding trade war-related tariffs that had already started a few months earlier is persisting and brings new options to the table.

A Look at Your Supply Chain in Times of COVID-19

Despite significant efforts to contain the spread and global impact of COVID-19, the situation has worsened, affecting people and companies all around the globe. The full implications of COVID-19 on the supply chain remain difficult to predict.

These changes are occurring at an unprecedented pace, creating an environment that is continuously evolving – as are the associated challenges. Some areas are slowly returning to activity while others are now being adversely affected by the virus. But what was the reality yesterday may no longer be the case today, and the chances are high the situation will have changed again by the time you read this.

It is, however, possible to see that, at this stage, the crisis is having a direct influence on the supply chain, from raw materials to finished products, and that we need to be ready to adapt, and combine agility and expertise.
