A procurement leader explains why their company shifted from local sourcing to suppliers on every continent in the last six months. The move prioritizes resilience against global disruptions, though rebuilding a diversified supply chain takes time and uncertainty remains about when local mills reopen.
Thank you. So I can so much 100% agree with Ibrahim. Thank you. And putting at the manufacturer's lens where project deliverables are so very critical, I think it is so important. Like our lens now as supply chain or procurement has moved from price point of view, as Ibrahim said, to moving to continental, uh, supplier dimension rather than localization. In last 6 months, I think so, we have moved our entire strategy from localization to having supplier on every continent. Believe me, it was such an interesting exercise, and, uh, it has taught us so many things in terms of resilience. As Ibrahim says, it is so important to be resilient in today's world. You never know As Tariq said, that our mills will open, but I don't know how much time it will require us to, you know, smoothen this entire chain. So we have to, we have to be ready because project deliverables are there and it is what it is. So yeah, that's my point of view on manufacturing lens.
