Supply-R Allows Greater Responsiveness and Increased Reliability of Supply Chains Across Different Industry and Service Sectors

São Paulo, September 14, 2020 – Bureau Veritas Group, a global leader in Testing, Inspection, and Certification (TIC), has developed a tool to address the new challenges companies face regarding risk management related to supply chain disruptions. In the midst of the global crisis imposed by the pandemic in 2020, many companies faced difficulties in maintaining the continuity of their operations due to interruptions in the supply of products or services.

“With economic globalization, supply chains have become larger and more complex, with suppliers spread all over the world, making it difficult to monitor and manage risks of participants and the supply chain as a whole. Our goal is to support companies by providing useful and objective information that allows for the identification of disruption risks in the supply chain and enables timely decision-making to ensure the continuity of their operations,” explains Roberto Vidal, director of the Industrial Division at Bureau Veritas.”

Supply-R is a digital platform that allows full visibility at the level of detail necessary to support better business decisions and minimize risks. The solution has a customizable modular structure based on assessments that identify the resilience and responsiveness to crises of critical suppliers participating in the supply chain. Critical elements assessed include technical capability, vulnerabilities to business continuity, HSE vulnerabilities, information security and data integrity, supply chain security, good logistics practices, and inventory control.

A giant printer called the “Ferrari” of concrete has landed in Latin America and can already build a 120-square-meter house in just 48 hours, making the traditional construction site look like something from the last century.

Great Atlantic Sargassum Belt has ceased to be a climatic phenomenon and has become a biological system that feeds on itself, with 8,000 kilometers in length, 37 million tons of algae, and scientists confirm that it is now permanent.

A British company has installed in the middle of the ocean the world’s first floating platform that generates electricity 24 hours a day from the temperature difference between the surface and the depths of the Atlantic, without relying on wind or sun.

Brazil will harvest a record crop of up to 357 million tons of grains, but it does not have the capacity to store a large part of it. The storage deficit has reached the highest level in history and is equivalent to almost the entire production of Argentina.

Engineers had to pour concrete mixed with tons of ice throughout entire nights in the Dubai desert to erect the Burj Khalifa; any carelessness could clog the pipes half a mile high.

The James Webb telescope spotted a planet 700 light-years from Earth with mornings full of sand clouds and nights with clear skies, the temperature difference between the two hemispheres reaches an impressive 170 degrees.

At 16 years old and without money to buy equipment, a student from the Sertão of Paraíba built his first telescope with two margarine buckets and a wall mirror, and today he brings space observations to schools and squares in the region with increasingly powerful devices.

Scientists were impressed to see birds with tiny heads solving problems like large primates: crows memorize hundreds of food caches, use tools, and even pass on knowledge to the group, challenging everything that was believed about the limits of the animal brain.

When commenting on the United States’ decision to treat PCC and Comando Vermelho as terrorists, China responded by defending non-interference between countries, in a move by Trump that divides the world, with Brazil against it and nations like Ecuador and Honduras in favor.

Brazilian justice orders the Union, Iphan, Pará, and the City Hall to “save” the ghost town of Fordlândia from ruins, with a diagnosis in 90 days, land regularization, and fines for the abandonment of historical heritage.
