What's Inside

While the COVID-19 pandemic may be the most significant supply chain disruption in recent memory, it was not the first and certainly won’t be the last. Supply chain risks stem from a variety of unpredictable environmental, political, business, and social factors, and supply chain leaders should be prepared with adequate resources to assess risk and plan, prepare, and measure global supply chain capabilities.

“The resilience of global supply chains is being tested. Supply chain leaders are being tested. Our view at the University of Tennessee is that if you prepare for what is known, you will be in a better position to react to what is unknown."

This white paper equips supply chain leaders with the EPIC supply chain structure, which served as the framework for assessing 64 countries in 10 geographic regions around the globe on their supply chain readiness from four perspectives: Economy (E), Politics (P), Infrastructure (I), and Competence (C).
