4. 9/11 (2001)
Heightened security – transition points, cargo transport
Tourism, airline industries hit hardest

5. Economic Impact to Consumers
Morgan Stanley projecting a GDP decline of 30.1% in April-June
Unemployment spike of 14.7% = job loss of 20.5M as of April 2020.
Potential lowered consumer purchasing power may result in lower
access to credit
Lower spending on air travel, food delivery, public transport,
restaurants, retail etc.

9. Changes in consumer behavioral patterns
Economic uncertainty = conservative spending
Changes in manufacturing cycles
Employee concerns (e.g. Tyson Foods)
Drastic demand forecasting vulnerabilities (e.g. automotive,
hand sanitizer, PPE etc.)
Slowdown in Chinese manufacturing (13.5% decline in
Jan/Feb 2020 vs. Jan/Feb 2019)
11. Looking back, were these concerns valid? What issues are we
currently facing?
Various topics emerge as we discuss the concept of improving a
supply chain:
Distribution optimization
Speed of production
Workforce
Cost / economy etc. etc.
Are these supply chain optimization drivers? What do all of the
above options rely on? What is the most important function of the
supply chain?
12. Consider the impact of COVID-19. Think about the following:
How do businesses (irrespective of their role in a supply chain)
navigate an event like COVID-19?
When there are delays in the distribution of goods, the prolonged
storage of these goods may result in product damage,
depreciation, or other issues. Who’s responsible?
What issues could arise from the necessity of creating more
flexibility in fulfillment (e.g. online distribution)?
14. You are either a supplier, a manufacturer, a distributor or a customer, and
business has been steady and relatively predictable over the past 5 years.
It’s April 2020, and COVID guidelines and restrictions have just been put in
place with very little notice, forcing you to make drastic changes to your
operation.
Part 1 (5-8 minutes):
What are the top 3 things you need from your direct supply chain partners
(upstream and downstream)?
Part 2 (5-8 minutes):
How do you respond to the needs of your supply chain partners?
Are you able to accommodate the needs of your supply chain partner without
negatively impacting your business?
15. Consider the impact of Inflation. Think about the following:
What changes do businesses need to make (irrespective of where
they are in the supply chain), in light of rising inflation?
Which areas of the supply chain are impacted by inflation?
What issues could arise from the necessity of creating more
flexibility in fulfillment (e.g. increasing prices)?
16. It’s July 13th, 2022. Fuel prices have skyrocketed, and inflation is at 8.6%
(the highest point in decades), which has resulted in consumer behavior
pattern changes, forcing you to make drastic changes to your operation.
Part 1 (5-8 minutes):
What are the top 3 things you need from your direct supply chain partners
(upstream and downstream)?
Part 2 (5-8 minutes):
How do you respond to the needs of your supply chain partners?
Are you able to accommodate the needs of your supply chain partner without
negatively impacting your business?
17. Is there a disparity in the power to resume operations at
different nodes of the supply chain? What about when we
consider large vs. small players?
Are all nodes of the supply chain equally impacted?
Is collaboration in the supply chain still a priority? (e.g. is the
customer inclined to adjust operations based on manufacturer
constraints?)
Is there a coordinated effort (e.g. do all suppliers want the same
thing from manufacturers), or is there chaos?
What happens next?
18. Shorter supply chains due to COVID threats
Stronger reliance on local sourcing and production,
potentially resulting in higher costs, and higher prices
Reliance on third party distribution options as a result of non-
traditional retail purchasing behavior
Supply chain design change due to Inflation/cost threats
Stronger reliance on lower cost options
Increases in pricing throughout the supply chain (all the way
to the consumer).
19. Permanent consumer behavior shift
Purchasing behavior (online etc.)
More reliance on areas focused on direct to consumer
distribution (e.g. online presence, last mile delivery)
Consideration of transportation costs (fuel prices etc., and how
these costs are integrated into the price)
Stronger reliance on regional sourcing and production to
avoid future pandemic risks
Larger focus on local storage/production (which increase cost)
Editor's Notes
its’ not just COVID…. It could be anything else….. Use this to justify why scm connectivity should be focused on.
Windsor scrap yard and consumer patterns changing as soon as Fall hit.
The true driver of any supply chain is consumer behavior – demand analysis, buying behavior etc.
The sharp increase in online purchasing as a result of COVID-19 caused delays in the delivery of goods. What vulnerabilities in the supply chain may have led to these delays, and how might these delays be avoided moving forward?
If a company is unable to produce enough output to satisfy demand for its products, what limitations does it face in allocating its production among its customers?
