🚨 Ongoing volatility in the Middle East is keeping supply chain resilience high on the agenda. For procurement and supply chain leaders, the priority is not to predict every development, but to stay clear on where disruption could affect operations – from freight routes and energy exposure to supplier continuity, inventory buffers, and cost volatility. Five practical actions remain especially important: 1. Map exposure beyond Tier 1 suppliers, including upstream materials and logistics corridors  2. Prepare alternative shipping strategies and model the impact of longer transit times  3. Secure logistics capacity early, including rerouting protocols and priority lanes  4. Protect time-critical supply by classifying what must move by air, what should, and what can shift  5. Take a selective resilience approach, focusing investment on the dependencies and chokepoints that matter most Matthew Lekstutis explores each of these steps in more detail here – take a look: https://bit.ly/3T0Sfy4
