Case study
Your company has relationships with several upstream vendors. Many of these vendors are local to your operation from a supply perspective. Your company can do without components from any single vendor for up to one week but no longer, or production of your primary product will cease. The executive management has asked that the company consider developing a strategy for surviving a longer outage with up to three suppliers.
Discuss the development of a plan or strategy that would allow the company to survive for up to two weeks without supplies from three of its primary vendors.
