Supply Disruptions:
Understanding and avoiding interruptions in the Supply Chain

An international research concortium consisting of the University of Turku (Finnland), the University of Liverpool, the Technical University of Dortmund and Bundeswehr University Munich would like to investigate how companies have been affected by supply chain disruptions in these days – and what can be done to avoid them (better) in the future. Together with the German Purchasing Association (BME) we think this international collaboration has the chance to develop innovative solutions for the supply chain disruption problem.

Therefore, we ask you to answer a few questions – it only takes 15 minutes of your time! You can access the survey via the following link
