Abstract
Some organisations have supply chain ecosystems domiciled in Africa and have yet to fully recover from current global disruptions’ impacts. A critical aspect of any supply value stream is the ability to recover from internal and external shocks or vagaries that may affect its ability to provide value incrementally to its customers. Another term for this attribute is operational resilience or supply chain resilience. The chapter discourse will include the concept of supply chain resilience, incidents of supply chain disruptions, global best practices for eliciting operational resilience, and key recommendations for key stakeholders.
