Restructuring Supply ChainsBook an intro conversation
Redeployment · after a shock

When a chain breaks, put idle assets and people back to work.

AI and robotics are restructuring supply chains. Add a shock on top (a demand collapse, a lost customer, an energy or trade disruption) and some firms in the chain fail. Their sites, machines, stock and skilled people do not disappear: they sit idle. Redeployment is the part of a restructuring that finds them a next use.

Three things to redeploy

Failed or shrinking firms

Which nodes in your chain are fragile, and what happens to your supply, customers and contracts if one of them stops.

Idle assets

Sites, equipment, vehicles and stock that lose their place in a restructured chain, and which next uses still fit once AI and robotics change the work.

People

Skilled people whose roles change or end. Where their experience fits in the new chain: exception handling, maintenance, oversight, or roles elsewhere.
