Last week, Resilinc, a Milpitas, California-based provider of supply chain risk management research and analytics, presented a webinar on its latest disruptions data as another hurricane was approaching the Gulf Coast.
The hurricane serves as another reminder that — even without a once-in-a-century pandemic that is approaching its eighth month, with no signs of slowing down in the U.S. — this has been a historic year for supply chain threats. During the “Supply Chain Risk Report: The Latest Event Watch Data and Updates” webinar, that sentiment was depicted in a chart that showed the number of new suppliers impacted month-over-month by coronavirus (COVID-19)-related disruptions since May has been steady, with an increase in those affected by other events.
