This is the result of a study by the Federal Association of Material, Purchasing and Logistics e. V. (BME) and Riskmethods, a provider of supply chain risk management solutions.<\/p>\n
The survey was carried out for the third time. Companies from the food and consumer goods, pharmaceutical \/ chemical, plant and mechanical engineering, automotive and retail sectors were surveyed.<\/p>\n
The study, which goes by the name of “Supply Chain Risk Management – Challenges and Status Quo 2020”, presents alarming results:<\/p>\n
Every second company reports delivery failures and up to five disruptions<\/strong> that have significantly impaired the course of business. In contrast to the previous year, this is an increase of a whopping 28%<\/strong> . As a result, more than half of all respondents complained Loss of sales, production losses<\/strong> ( + 7%<\/strong> compared to the previous year) and increased operating costs<\/strong> ( + 8%<\/strong> ).<\/p>\n Only 14% of the companies were spared in the 2019\/2020 financial year. Only a quarter of those surveyed had defined emergency plans in order to be prepared for disruptions.<\/p>\n Around two thirds ( 67%<\/strong> ) of companies go from political risks<\/strong> that could jeopardize supply chain management. Then follow with 50%<\/strong> the Bankruptcy risks<\/strong> and with 18%<\/strong> the Cyber security risks<\/strong> . The topics of sustainability and compliance are also topical. The supply chain law<\/a> ensures that companies are exposed to stricter due diligence and liability rules. More than half of the respondents feared serious and even existence-threatening damage to the company through damage to its image, loss of sales or fines because ecological and social standards are not adhered to at the supplier levels. The pandemic risk was also listed for the first time and is in fifth place. Less risks in raw material procurement<\/strong> In contrast to the previous year, companies expect a decrease of 60%<\/strong> .<\/p>\n … it must be the sub-suppliers. At least around 45% of those surveyed report that they cause malfunctions and failures. Very few companies know that a supply chain does not consist of just one level, but of several. Only 24% have these deeper levels in mind. Conversely, this means that around three quarters of all companies do not know which risks in supply chain management they are most susceptible to.<\/p>\n 8% of the companies cannot even identify the malfunctions and only 6% know how high the financial damage is. And supply chain interruptions can cost a lot of money: there is talk of 250,000 euros to over 1 million euros.<\/p>\n Around 67% of supply chain specialists consider sophisticated risk management to be desirable.<\/strong> Ehlert too.
