Last week, a fire broke out at Heathrow Airport which resulted in a complete power outage and shut down at the world’s busiest airport. Questions remain surrounding the fire itself, but Sphera’s Heiko Schwarz points out that this type of extreme disruption should serve as a real-world stress test from a supply chain perspective: ? “Whether it’s this fire, the Icelandic ash cloud in 2010, or the Suez Canal blockage in 2021, these incidents underscore the need for end-to-end visibility, scenario planning, and supply chain diversification. Organizations that understand the interconnected nature of their supply chains, maintain viable alternative routes, and invest in resilience will be far better placed to keep operations running when the unexpected strikes.” For more, read 'Industry Urges Supply Chain Resilience After Heathrow Closure' in Logistics Business: https://lnkd.in/gHV28rR9
