GLOBAL SUPPLY SYSTEM DASHBOARD
To harness collective action and facilitate inclusive response to the impacts of Covid 19, constituents of the World Economic Forum`s Industry Action Groups are conceptualising development of a visibility dashboard to aid humanitarian response. This dashboard is a pre-competitive tool, providing improved supply system visibility and enabling prioritisation for the movement of food and essential goods to communities at risk due to crisis conditions
Lack of visibility across the global supply system leads to bottlenecks, a particular challenge to meeting humanitarian needs with the flow of essential goods
WHAT ARE THE NEEDS?
Visibility of potential upstream and downstream disruptions to the supply of raw materials, ingredients, commodities and essential goods. Visibility into potential points of capacity contention and shifts in national demand.
Product Suppliers
Raw materials, ingredients, commodity producers.
BENEFITS:
Distribution Planning: adjust transportation plans to ensure delivery of materials via alternative routes.
Commercial Planning: adjust commercial plans to supply markets where demand is higher or more urgent.
Humanitarian Entities
Emergency relief, health, disaster recovery.
BENEFITS:
Distribution planning: Evaluate and determine alternative SC routing to provide aid or emergency response support.
Proactive optimisation of emergency response or humanitarian aid activities.
Product Markets
Consumer Goods, retailers, wholesalers.
BENEFITS:
Capacity Planning: planning of reduced or excess capacity and where to deploy.
Pricing Strategy: in cases of excess capacity or unmet demand.
Network and Capacity Modelling
Governments
Border control, disaster recovery & relief, health.
BENEFITS:
Benefit from visibility for taxation and border control activities.
Proactive optimisation of emergency response or national support activities.
Transport Companies
Ports, Logistics, Transport Providers.
BENEFITS:
Procurement Planning: alternate sourcing of transportation to meet demand, early customer alerts.
Distribution Planning: adjust transportation plans to ensure delivery of product(s) via alternative routes.
Network and Capacity Modelling
The Global Supply System Dashboard is an industry stakeholder initiative, facilitated by constituents of the World Economic Forum Supply Chain & Transportation and Consumer Goods industry groups.
A pre-competitive visibility tool where data collected is anonymised and aggregated. The GSSD Working Group is currently in the process of validating the value proposition for industry, humanitarian and non-governmental stakeholders, and formulating the governance, data sharing mechanisms and funding model for sustainable operation as a non-profit entity.
