Sixty-six percent of companies say they will significantly change their strategy over the next three years to adapt to the impact of the pandemic and build resilience into their operations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Only 23 percent of consumer goods companies and 28 percent of retailers believe their supply chain is agile enough to meet changing business needs. For the study, 400 executives from eleven different countries were surveyed between August and September 2020. <\/p><div id=\"great-531804787\" class=\"great-fullsize-content-en\" style=\"margin-bottom: 20px;\"><a data-no-instant=\"1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=6yfv7eho3Gc\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"a2t-link\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"Fullsize\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/banner_26_04_08_1200x150.jpg\" alt=\"Fullsize\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/banner_26_04_08_1200x150.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/banner_26_04_08_1200x150-400x50.jpg 400w, https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/banner_26_04_08_1200x150-768x96.jpg 768w, https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/banner_26_04_08_1200x150-100x13.jpg 100w, https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/banner_26_04_08_1200x150-480x60.jpg 480w, https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/banner_26_04_08_1200x150-640x80.jpg 640w, https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/banner_26_04_08_1200x150-720x90.jpg 720w, https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/banner_26_04_08_1200x150-960x120.jpg 960w, https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/banner_26_04_08_1200x150-1168x146.jpg 1168w, https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/banner_26_04_08_1200x150-18x2.jpg 18w, https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/banner_26_04_08_1200x150-600x75.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" width=\"1200\" height=\"150\"  style=\" max-width: 100%; height: auto;\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Covid-19 was a wake-up call, with 85 percent of consumer goods companies and 88 percent of retailers saying they faced disruptions. Sixty-three percent of consumer goods companies and 71 percent of retailers said it took three months or longer for their supply chains to recover from disruptions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a result, companies are realigning their strategies to focus on three critical areas: Demand analysis, supply chain visibility and regionalization. More than two-thirds of companies (68 percent) say they had difficulty planning for demand because they lacked accurate and up-to-date information about fluctuating customer demand during the pandemic. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meanwhile, 54 percent say they will use analytics with artificial intelligence or machine learning for demand forecasting to cope with the impact of Covid-19. To develop the agility to do so, manufacturers should optimize visibility within their supply chain, the study authors recommend.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The majority of consumer goods companies and retailers want to make their supply chain strategy more forward-looking and agile in order to be better prepared for future crises.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":38,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"pmpro_default_level":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[2,39280],"tags":[1015],"coauthors":[19920],"class_list":["post-73997","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-sap-nachrichten","category-mag-21-05","tag-capgemini","pmpro-has-access"],"acf":[],"featured_image_urls_v2":{"full":"","thumbnail":"","medium":"","medium_large":"","large":"","image-100":"","image-480":"","image-640":"","image-720":"","image-960":"","image-1168":"","image-1440":"","image-1920":"","1536x1536":"","2048x2048":"","trp-custom-language-flag":"","bricks_large_16x9":"","bricks_large":"","bricks_large_square":"","bricks_medium":"","bricks_medium_square":"","profile_24":"","profile_48":"","profile_96":"","profile_150":"","profile_300":""},"post_excerpt_stackable_v2":"<p>Die Mehrheit der Konsumg\u00fcterunternehmen und Einzelh\u00e4ndler will ihre Supply-Chain-Strategie zukunftsorientierter und agiler gestalten, um f\u00fcr k\u00fcnftige Krisen besser gewappnet zu sein.<\/p>\n","category_list_v2":"<a href=\"https:\/\/e3mag.com\/en\/category\/sap-news\/\" rel=\"category tag\">Community Nachrichten<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/e3mag.com\/en\/category\/mag-21-05\/\" rel=\"category tag\">MAG 21-05<\/a>","author_info_v2":{"name":"E-3 Magazine","url":"https:\/\/e3mag.com\/en\/author\/e-3-magazin\/"},"comments_num_v2":"0 comments","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/e3mag.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/73997","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/e3mag.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/e3mag.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/e3mag.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/38"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/e3mag.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=73997"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/e3mag.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/73997\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/e3mag.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=73997"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/e3mag.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=73997"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/e3mag.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=73997"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/e3mag.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=73997"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
