As an interconnected set of organizations or entities, the supply chain bridges the gap between a product source and the ultimate end user. By collaborating in a horizontal fashion, these entities work in concert to serve a fundamental purpose: to create a product or service that will benefit a group of users. But what happens when a critical link in that supply chain goes down due to business failure, natural disaster, or an issue within its own supply chain? This is a question that more and more companies are asking themselves as high-profile supply disruption cases involving Apple, Chipotle, Nissan, and other notable organizations come to light.
