A free diagnostic, a five-pillar resilience framework, and a live crisis simulation — built for African supply chain leaders who don’t want to discover their resilience plan doesn’t work until the crisis is already underway.
A complete framework, not a checklist.
Enough to be precise, short enough to finish.
See exactly where the gaps are.
No card, no obligation — just clarity.
A port closure. An FX shock. A single supplier going dark. Most organizations find their weak points the hard way — mid-crisis, when fixing them is no longer cheap or fast. RAPID is a structured way to find those gaps before they find you: a diagnostic that shows exactly where you stand, a roadmap for what to fix first, and a way to pressure-test your team’s response before a real disruption does it for you.
Each pillar answers one uncomfortable question about how your supply chain actually behaves under pressure.
If your main supplier disappeared tomorrow, is a backup already in motion — or would you be starting from zero?
Multiple sourcing routes, buffer stock sized to real volatility rather than guesswork, pre-agreed alternate transport lanes, and a way to keep operating even when your systems go down.
When disruption hits, how many hours pass before your team makes its first decision?
Escalation triggers set in advance, response runbooks everyone already knows, and a 30-60-120 minute decision cadence that turns a crisis into something closer to a drill.
Could you state last week's Perfect Order Rate right now — or would you need to go pull a report first?
Live dashboards, early-warning signals, and metrics that tell you the truth about your supply chain today, not three weeks from now.
How many layers of approval have to sign off before your organization can actually respond to a disruption?
Disciplined S&OP, clearly assigned decision rights, and a “war room” model that replaces departmental finger-pointing with one coordinated response.
Eighteen months from now, will today's fixes still be standing — or will the organization have quietly drifted back?
Documented SOPs, quarterly audits, and a standing Community of Practice that keeps resilience from turning into a shelf document nobody reopens.
