Manufacturers face mounting supply chain disruptions that cost over $50B annually, making time to recovery a key resilience metric. Regionalization is emerging as a strategy to reduce risk by using a hub-and-spoke model, ensuring continuity if one hub fails. Digital transformation is critical, with real-time visibility, unified data, and AI-driven predictions enabling faster recovery and better decisions. Cardinal Health’s case study shows how FourKites improved distribution speed, costs, and reliability during COVID with real-time visibility and temperature tracking. Benchmarking recovery times, identifying vulnerabilities, and aligning tech strategies help manufacturers build resilience.
