Resilience of the retail and consumer goods' supply chain in the U.S. 2020
According to a survey from 2020, the pandemic crisis encouraged the decision makers in the retail and consumer goods industry to rethink the role of the supply chain. After the crisis, about one in two U.S. executives stated that the role of the supply chain was to provide input to most strategic decisions in their organization. In the 12 months before COVID-19, only 40 percent of respondents stated so.
