Preparing for Disruptions Through Early Detection

September 15, 2015 | Yossi Sheffi | Operations

In an adaption from his new book The Power of Resilience, MIT's Yossi Sheffi explains how companies are learning to more quickly detect unanticipated problems that can interfere with their global operations. Sheffi looks at how leading companies are using an array of detection and response techniques, from sensors to supply chain control towers. These tools are helping companies become more resilient to disruptions such as hurricanes, the discovery of product contamination, and political events.
