$$ Based on these findings below, what would you recommend GlobalTech does?

Supply chain complexity: GlobalTech's supply chain network is a multifaceted ecosystem consisting of numerous elements, i$.$e$.$ suppliers, manufacturing facilities, distribution centres, warehouses, transportation, and retail outlets, spanning multiple continents. As GlobalTech is so wide ranging in its supply chain, there is probably little or no time to collaborate with suppliers. Further to this, this complex supply chain comes many challenges in flexibility and adaptability, including extended lead times, demand variability, transportation bottlenecks, inventory management issues, along with the need for real$-$time visibility, which is lacking across the supply chain.

$$ Sustainability: GlobalTech needs to integrate sustainability into its supply chain management, with emphasis on eco$-$friendly packaging, optimised and eco$-$friendly transportation, ethical sourcing, move to renewable energy, as well as recycling and waste reduction.

$$ Supply chain optimisation: GlobalTech acknowledges the need to reduce costs, enhance efficiency, and improve customer satisfaction. The company also needs to optimise its supply chain by addressing the challenges and incorporating sustainability measures. Addressing these shortcomings requires a strategy including supplier coordination, integrating advanced technologies, improving internal processes, and embedding sustainability practices into the company and its supply chain partners.

$$ Lack of resilience: GlobalTech demonstrates a lack of adequate risk management, sufficient supply chain visibility, a proactive approach to disruptions, as well as flexibility and adaptability. Ultimately, there is a lack of control due to complexity of the business. To improve its supply chain resilience, GlobalTech should implement a comprehensive risk management strategy, enhance supply chain visibility, adopt a proactive approach to disruptions, and foster flexibility and adaptability throughout its supply chain.
