Supply risk management is all about identifying all of the things that can go wrong in the supply chain and coming up with a plan to ensure that operations aren\u2019t disrupted in the event that one of the things that can go wrong, does.\u00a0 Great supply risk management is when you can recover when something goes wrong in the supply chain that you didn\u2019t anticipate, despite your best efforts to identify all possible risks.

I have a feeling that Apple is finding itself trying to recover from such a situation right now.<\/p>\n

After launching the iPhone 5 just last week \u2013 and surely seeing increased demand patterns in its supply chain \u2013 Apple is dealing with a rather unusual cause of a supply disruption:\u00a0 a 2,000-employee brawl at one of its major suppliers.\u00a0 An article on xfinity Finance revealed that Foxconn, an iPhone supplier, was forced to suspend production today after the brawl, which lasted about four hours.\u00a0 The article indicated that \u201cseveral people were arrested [and] 40 people were taken to hospitals for treatment.\u201d<\/p>\n

Is a 2,000-employee supplier brawl one of the causes of a supply disruption that you have planned for?<\/p>\n

If not, that might be OK as long as you\u2019ve prepared for the possibility of a major supplier being shut down for any reason.\u00a0 It just goes to show that even if a supplier is not unionized, not located on a earthquake fault line, not financially unstable, etc., that doesn\u2019t mean that you shouldn\u2019t be prepared for them to shut down for a day or more without notice.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
