Major businesses today involves complex supply chains with world-wide sourcing and marketing which create new risks for both the individual enterprise and the society at large. Supply chain disruptions are seen as the primary threat to a company's revenue driver. To be able to cope with undesired events, companies need to review their business continuity management (BCM).
