The dynamics of a product recall situation

In this briefing series and in related seminars, services and workshops we are focusing on the dynamic behaviour of your business system in a such a crisis situation. Even if only a fraction of your products and customer base is impacted, a recall can have a dramatic effect. The feedback structures which lead to highly dynamic developments or a recall crisis are often not understood. For example:

• A late detection of the crisis leads to an accumulation of cases. The longer it takes to respond the higher the likelihood that a user of the product in insured.
• The product crisis can slow down your innovation which impacts on only current sales but your competitive position.
• The word-of-mouth can spread the news about the crisis extremely quickly. This can have a dramatic impact on reputation and sales, but it can also help you overcome the crisis quickly.
• The appropriate planning and allocation of staff and resources can help you reduce the risk exposure significantly and accelerate the resolution and recovery.
