WARNING: Yossi Sheffi identifies electricity availability as an underestimated Supply Chain risk
Yossi Sheffi has highlighted electricity availability as an underestimated Supply Chain Risk. Manufacturing, logistics, data centers and AI infrastructure increasingly depend on reliable power, making energy constraints a material operating issue.
Leaders should monitor grid capacity, regional exposure, backup arrangements and the consequences of power shortages on production, warehousing, transportation and digital infrastructure.
The Dataleo angle
The decision question is whether energy risk is represented in network design, supplier qualification and business-continuity scenarios. Ownership, trigger thresholds and recovery priorities should be explicit.
