Covid-19 has put Supply Chain in the spotlight like never before. With such disruption, almost every company were forced to realign their supply chains in the new normal. And with recent Russia’s assault on Ukraine, the world has changed in a fundamental way, and it is not expected to return to normal in the near future. Due to the war, significant pressure points have been created, from supply chain dislocation to shortages of key materials and soaring costs for components and shipping, coming on top of pandemic lockdowns and US-China tensions.
