Brexit and the pizza pie

According to a CNN report on August 6, in the United Kingdom “Domino's is stockpiling pizza ingredients to protect against a disorderly Brexit.”  In today’s global economy, all supply chains – and by implication, logistics networks – are facing materiel risk at an unprecedented scale.  Sometimes the risk we face are beyond our control, but that doesn’t absolve leaders of the responsibility to mitigate.

We all have critical materiel flows.  These flows typically include imports.  At Domino’s UK, CNN reports that the set of critical inputs includes tomato sauce, frozen chicken, pineapple and tuna.  Not complex, but clearly essential if you run a pizza shop.  Even the simplest supply chains can create considered strategies to mitigate supply chain risk. 

Domino’s in the UK has a plan.  Do you?
