Supply chain disruptions cause major headaches for shippers, carriers, and customers, often resulting in lost productivity and profits. The effects of supply chain disruptions also reverberate beyond the initial event, as companies scramble to fix problems and get back to business.
More than two-thirds of companies that experience supply chain disruptions say it takes more than one week to recover from the disruption, finds a new Accenture study that surveyed 151 logistics executives in U.S. firms with revenues of more than $1 billion.
Seventy-three percent of the executives surveyed report experiencing supply chain disruptions in the past five years. Of those, more than one-third (36 percent) say it took more than one month to recover, and 32 percent needed between 1 week and 1 month to recover.
