While #supplychain managers have been attuned to potential disruptions for decades, COVID-19 highlighted the importance of managing risks through the end-to-end supply chain. Traditional risk management techniques became insufficient, and supply chain visibility and mapping rose to the forefront as people strove to identify secondary sources, operations centers, and logistics resources to ensure a continuous supply of goods and services. These #disruptions are not going away. In this context, UT's #EPIC Framework for assessing risk can become a major tool for global businesses as they make key decisions about suppliers, operations and logistics providers, and manage outages. Learn more in our latest (free) white paper, "The EPIC Index Update and Country Risk Report." Co-authored by Haslam College of Business at the University of Tennessee professors Alan Amling, Alexandre Rodrigues, and Sara Hsu, the paper uses UT's unique structure for assessing supply chain readiness from economic (E), political (P), infrastructural (I), and competence (C) perspectives to help managers make #supplychain location decisions globally. https://hubs.la/Q02M3HWq0

In May, the Haslam College of Business at the University of Tennessee #EMBA for Global Supply Chain cohort traveled to Vietnam and Thailand to explore leading companies in Ho Chi Minh City and Bangkok. ✈️ 🇻🇳 🇹🇭 Led by Wendy Tate and Izabela VanDeest, CPA, students visited prominent firms across diverse industries, including agribusiness, maritime trade and transportation, dairy product manufacturing, and real estate development. Among the companies they visited were Betrimex Vietnam, Long An International Port, FrieslandCampina, and Bangkot Port, where they gained valuable insights into management strategies, innovation processes, and the role of technology in operations. These programs offer more than a global business perspective; they provide a deep cultural immersion. In Ho Chi Minh City, the group explored the Saigon River via the Water Bus, a public transportation system, and visited the Bitexco Financial Tower. The Skydeck's interactive exhibits and displays provided an engaging overview of the city's architectural landmarks, economic growth, and vibrant cultural heritage, enriching the students' understanding of the local culture and history. In Bangkok, their adventure began with a visit to the iconic Wat Pho, home to the majestic Reclining Buddha, a symbol of Thai culture within this historic temple complex. The journey continued through the bustling streets of Chinatown, where students explored vibrant markets and savored authentic local cuisine. A big thank you to Southbridge Access for helping UT coordinate the international program as well as for this recap video!
