Countries around the world have been affected and are reacting differently to the shortages , as well as the fluctuation of demand driven by COVID-19 . “ But one particularly common experience is the inability to foresee or plan any scenarios ,” adds Zsulits .
He adds : “ Many of the scenarios we thought would happen , didn ’ t come true . And with that , we realised that it is not enough to primarily talk to our direct partners in Tier 1 . We also need to ask ourselves where risks might lie in the tier-n supply chain and monitor them regularly .”
“ Today , the deeper we look into our supply chain , the less we know . This transparency is a major risk to our security of supply and a learning from the past years is that we must not leave this entirely to our Tier-1 to manage . So we are approaching our partners across the tiers to discuss potential risks together .”
With this , Doka hopes to be more flexible in some ways , while remaining stable enough to face these challenges and bringing together its partnerships as one supply stream .
Agreeing with Zsulits , Loos also speaks from an internal viewpoint : “ We now collaborate a lot more than we did
