Global disruptions begin externally. Their consequences end in your operations.
Strategic materials and critical components sit deep in the supply chain, but their impact can reach the entire business.

Their consequences end in your operations.
That is why NAO focuses on the dependencies that can determine whether production continues, costs rise, or plans stay on track.
