I’m working on a business case study and need an explanation and answer to help me learn.
The supply chain for medical needs during the pandemic has highlighted the weaknesses of modern global supply chain management.
In lean operations, demand management, procurement management, and fulfillment management are integrally interrelated. The removal of redundancies in the supply chain, the reliance on offshoring, and the lack of a larger safety cushion are part of the just-in-time global supply chain design.
During this pandemic, the just-in-time system has backfired, causing critical healthcare supplies to be insufficient in both quantity and location.

After watching to two videos what are some possible actions that the manufacturers can take to lessen the risk of disruptions of the supply chains.
Should the manufacturers have put strategies in place to mitigate the risks?
