Antifragile supply chains are better able to weather uncertainty, notes Gartner


Supply chains are increasingly looking to develop resilience, but a new survey and research from Gartner finds that those that develop an antifragile framework not only survive, they thrive.

“An antifragile supply chain starts with the Chief Supply Chain Officer’s mindset,” said Tim Payne, vice president analyst in Gartner’s Supply Chain Practice. “Rather than trying to keep uncertainty out of the supply chain, antifragile supply chains embrace uncertainty with the objective of learning, evolving and adapting their capabilities based on their improved knowledge of it.”
