THE PURCHASING MANAGERS' INDEX AS A TOOL FOR UNDERSTANDING SUPPLY CHAIN DISRUPTIONS

Summary/Abstract: The study explores the use of the Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) to predict the impact of economic conditions on supply chain disruptions. By analysing PMI data, we can identify patterns that indicate economic trends and their impact on production, delivery times, inventories and prices. The methodology used involved reviewing PMI indices to gain insights into current and upcoming supply chain disruptions. The results show that the PMI offers early warning signals of potential disruptions, with changes in production, delivery times and inventories reflecting current economic conditions. The importance of the study lies in its ability to provide essential information for formulating strategies to increase the resilience of supply chains, thereby enabling companies to adapt to a dynamic economic environment proactively.
