A report by the Business Continuity Institute (BCI), in partnership with Zurich Insurance Group, found such organisations were eight times more likely to report greater supply chain visibility, twice as likely to have insurance for supply chain losses and three times more likely to display top management commitment.
However, the survey found more than a fifth (22 percent) of respondents did not have full visibility of their supply chains.
The report said 74 percent of respondents asked their suppliers about their business continuity arrangements, up on 63 percent in last year’s survey, and this coincided with other good practices such as organisation-wide reporting of disruption.
BCI said 63 percent of organisations did not use any technology to analyse, track or monitor the performance of their supply chains, while half (51 percent) did not insure against supply chain disruption.
The report said the top causes of disruption were unplanned ICT and telecommunications outage, cyber attack and data breach, and loss of talent and/or skills. Fire is the biggest survey climber compared to last year, up from 14th place to seventh, while terrorist acts and currency volatility have dropped out of the top 10.
