With the outbreak of coronavirus or COVID-19 spreading throughout the world, we are now witnessing its unprecedented impact on various supply chains - from food and medical supplies to materials and other movements of goods. The devastation caused by the virus and the speed with which the virus spreads around the world are inescapable. Not only is the virus a human tragedy, but it also has a massive impact on our global supply networks. Businesses run the risk of substantial financial loss with has implications due to massive top- and bottom-line effects. While there are no right answers to how to could mitigate and manage this crisis, we hope that we can bring some sense and stability through the sharing by senior supply chain professionals.
