Company Common capabilities Finally, when coming out of the crisis, companies and governments should take a complete look at their supply-chain vulnerabilities and the shocks that could expose them much as the coronavirus has. Exhibit 4 describes the major sources of vulnerability. The detailed responses can reveal major opportunities—for example, using scenario analyses to review the structural resilience of critical logistics nodes, routes, and transportation Cluster characteristics, % modes can reveal weakness even when individual components, such as important airports or rail Automotive Multimedia speaker Marine hubs, may appear resilient. speakers systems audio GES 2020 27 25 25 14 9 Supply-chain COVID Mobile-phone Exhibit 4 of 3 Professional audio equipment speakers Exhibit 4 Supply-chain vulnerability occurs across five dimensions.
