You are a supply chain manager at a UK firm. In 2010, a volcano broke out in Iceland, disrupting air travel across Europe. On the one hand, you are considering switching to local suppliers in the UK. On the other hand, you feel bad about abandoning your Asian suppliers, with whom you have built a pleasant personal and business relationship, and who - in the long run - may be able to delivery produce much cheaper. Yet, your tightly coordinated production cannot afford to miss one supply shipment. How do you proceed?

    Explanation below.

    Explanation:

    It should be understood that as a chain supply manager, your job is to continue to make supply available no matter what may.

    At this instance, what happened that cut you off from your reliable Asian suppliers was not your fault at all, and the best thing is to start patronizing the local suppler until the predicament is resolved.

    What is needed to be done, is to continually be in touch with the Asian suppliers, and keep assuring them of patronizing them again immediately the coast is clear.
