The world is full of surprises and risks. When disasters strike, the consequences for your business can be huge. It is essential that management develops strategies and is prepared for unexpected situations in order to absorb financial shocks. A Supply Chain Resilience scan is an excellent first step.

The questions clients ask us most often about this service — answered clearly and concisely.
Supply Chain Resilience builds a chain that doesn't just survive disruption — supplier failure, geopolitics, demand shocks, transport disruption — but comes out stronger. UC Group maps your risks and their financial impact and implements resilience measures for companies in chemicals, pharma, food, manufacturing and distribution.
Three typical triggers: (1) a single supplier, location, or transport mode accounts for too much of your revenue or margin; (2) you've recently experienced a severe disruption (e.g., COVID-19, Suez Canal blockage, supplier bankruptcy, geopolitical tension) and never want to repeat it; (3) client contracts, CSRD, or ISO 22301 require you to demonstrate resilience.
Week 1–2: Supply Chain Resilience Scan — disruption scenarios, critical bottlenecks across all tiers, and financial impact models per scenario. Week 3–4: prioritisation and a business case per mitigating measure — what it costs and what it delivers. Week 5+: implementation of supplier diversification, inventory buffers, dual sourcing or alternative routes — whatever adds the most value in your context.
Concrete deliverables: a risk heatmap of your entire chain, a business continuity plan, prioritised measure packages with financial impact, and an early-warning monitoring dashboard. Typical results: demonstrably lower dependence on single-source suppliers, shorter recovery time after disruptions, and evidence for CSRD or ISO 22301 compliance.
