Exam CSCP Topic 1 Question 231 Discussion

A resilient supply chain is characterized by its ability to anticipate potential disruptions and recover quickly from them. Being proactive means identifying risks before they occur and implementing measures to mitigate them. Fast recovery ensures that any impact on the supply chain is minimized, maintaining continuity and reducing downtime. This combination of proactivity and rapid recovery differentiates a resilient supply chain from one that is merely reactive (B, D) or slow to recover (C), ensuring sustained operations and competitive advantage.
