Resilinc’s annual analysis of natural and man-made event data shows that in 2017, factory fire/explosion was the most persistently disruptive event-type impacting supply chains globally, while storms and hurricanes positioned North America as the region most disrupted by naturally occurring events.

In addition to these highlights, this report breaks down the number of events with disruptive potential—as recorded by EventWatch—that took place in 2017 by type, industries affected, region, severity, and time of year. While primarily focusing on retrospective analysis, the authors also share details of five ongoing events that supply chain professionals should monitor carefully in 2018.
