London, UK– Pure Research is offering comprehensive Supply Chain Resilience solutions to eradicate risk that might cause supply chain disruptionsin Automobile OEM Services.
Pure Research, a pioneer in Procurement Intelligence and Risk Management Solutions, has emerged with a solution which will ensure Supply Chain Resilience, especially in geographically distributed supply chains that most Auto OEM’s have. The solution drives engagement with suppliers to understand their preparedness and exposure to risks related to information security (data protection, cyber-attacks and fraud prevention), business continuity (natural disasters, social unrest, geopolitical emergencies), and risks emanating from their extended supply chains.
Supply chain management has been approached from a variety of perspectives, however, global supply chain has not been adequately explored to overcome the severe supply chain disruptions that can be caused due to catastrophic natural disasters. Supply chain disruptions due to natural disasters such has floods, tsunami and storms are seemingly increasing and are getting more frequent and impactful.
In recent times, Chennai, an Indian City witnessed a severe constrain in OEM supply chain caused due to incessant rains during November and December 2015. The city is counted as the major automobile hub, and an integral part of the domestic as well as global automotive supply chains. The Entire automotive belt in Chennai suffered losses of approximately USD 200 million.
In 2011, a month long flooding in Thailand also caused a significant impact on global supply capabilities enumerating various high tech sectors. These catastrophic disasters have serious impacts on firm performance causing design disruptions to products, manufacturing stoppages, logistics breakdowns etc.
Pure Research’s Supply Chain Resilience Solution enables the clients to understand critical dependencies, improvise the responding ability, and proactively consider resilience strategies to mitigate disruptions before they occur.
According to Ankit Kohli, co-founder of Pure Research, while eliminating the natural calamities is beyond the control of automobile industry, supply chain operators should be able to synthesize external and internal data and rapidly take action to minimize the impact of a disruption.
