Supply Chain Risk: Where UK Manufacturers Are More Exposed Than They Think
In this session, we’ll explore where supply chain risk actually hides inside manufacturing businesses, why traditional mitigation approaches often give a false sense of security, and what practical resilience really looks like for SMEs and mid-sized manufacturers.
We’ll look at how capability – not just suppliers, systems, or strategy – shapes resilience: from procurement teams under pressure to optimise cost, to supply chain functions expected to manage risk without the tools, time, or visibility to do so effectively.
Through real-world examples and audience-led discussion, we’ll examine common failure points – single-source dependencies, opaque sub-tier risk, over-optimised planning, and capability gaps – and introduce a simple, pragmatic framework for assessing and strengthening resilience without overengineering or excessive cost.
This talk is designed to challenge assumptions, spark conversation, and give attendees new ways of thinking about supply chain decisions they’re already making every day.
