The business gurus at Forbes have made the call: "If there was any doubt left about the impact of globalization of the supply chain, the news [from Japan] should make it crystal clear: supply chains today are attenuated and extremely vulnerable to repercussions from events far outside the control of those who manage and rely on them."
Forbes' CIO Network columnist Paul Martyn concludes that while "there’s much hope – and a lot of evidence – that Japan will recover quickly from this disaster, what global supply chains look like on the other side is widely unknown"; and, that "one thing is for certain: the disruption provides more than enough evidence of the need to revisit supply chain strategies with a focus on resiliency and flexibility."
