A supply chain intervention can either be a quick win or a major project. This is determined using a 2x2 prioritization matrix. @zukynokeke @ARCSC_Hub @ARC4SC
Some examples of quick win supply chain interventions are hiring qualified staff, updating forecasting metrics, increasing safety stock by a small % etc. They are usually small tasks that can easily be achieved @zukynokeke @ARC4SC @ARCSC_Hub
Some examples of major projects in SC intervention are building/buying warehouses and facilities, buying transportation vehicles and machinery, creating new software, expensive capacity building trainings etc. @zukynokeke @ARC4SC @ARCSC_Hub
Big congratulations to them! Well done @ARCSC_Hub @ARC4SC

Warehouses are very important during supply chain planning, as they are used to store and sort products before distribution. Its location can make a very huge difference in the efficiency and efficacy SC process. @zukynokeke @ARCSC_Hub @ARC4SC
Some things to consider when selecting a warehouse are:
1. Cost (purchase price, rent or lease)
2. Road mapping and networks leading to it
3. Proximity to the airport/seaport/rail station
@zukynokeke @ARCSC_Hub @ARC4SC
4. Efficiency of power supply especially in areas where power is unstable
5. Size of the warehouse
6. Availability or workforce
7. Level of security
8. Utility costs eg power, water, additional charges
9. Proximity to the market

What are some supply chain challenges the country has experienced during the COVID-19 pandemic?
1.There is lack of visibility, collaboration and coordination of real demand and supply
@ARCSC_Hub
@ARC4SC @zukynokeke
3. Most supply chains are still based on reactive or transactional model, once there is an unexpectedthwart or
drop in demand; it takes time for it to flow through the multi-tiered supply chain. @ARCSC_Hub
@zukynokeke @ARC4SC
4. Supply chain practitioners were engrossed with unbroken global supply chain that promises “Comfort
zone chain” with little or no alternative supply and demand during disruption. @ARCSC_Hub
