The Rule of Supply and Demand Isn't Suspended After a Disaster

According to recent surveys, less than half of American businesses have disaster recovery or business continuity plans in place to maintain supply chain logistics in the event of a disaster. Due to the often complex and intricate nature of modern supply chain management, it is critical for any business risk assessment plan to index and fully understand its own Supply chain logistics. This is the best way to develop a useful supply chain solution to maintain business continuity. Your disaster recovery team must catalog the process flow of products and services, so that risks and issues can be minimized.

Any disaster recovery plan should categorize operations and service into the essential and non-essential so that the most important aspects of your business can be restored quickly. Although orders, units and revenue should factor into this catalog, there are many important questions to consider:

Firstly, who are your vendors, and where are they located? In today's economy, even disasters many miles from your office can directly affect your business. Are they the only source for that product or service, or are any secondary vendors available? Secondly, consider the physical locations of your vendors and their transportation routes.

These provisions should lead to a broad and successful business resumption plan to get your business back on track — no matter what.
