How EY can help
P&G offers a case study in navigating the “never-normal” with resiliency, agility and flexibility — not just in consumer products but for all manufacturers. We explore details of how P&G used its proprietary Integrated Work System (IWS) methodology and end-to-end supply chain integration to thrive across the past 18 months while honing its capabilities to confront the next disruption that’s always just around the corner.
This way of working has helped P&G meet its customer needs, hit sales targets, increase customer value, improve operational efficiency, and satisfy its compliance/risk mandates during one of the more turbulent times in modern history.
P&G effectively illustrates what a resilient supply chain looks like at a time when economic, social, environmental, geopolitical, and other crises seemingly manifest themselves several times a quarter. While none of us can predict the future, it’s a safe bet that more disruption is on the horizon, and perhaps the only way to confront it is through resiliency — a combination of greater visibility and agility.
More unexpected disruptions will hit supply chains and impact overall business performance. Download (pdf) a new white paper to learn about the five pillars of resilient supply chains.
