Broken, stressed, strained, and out of sync. All have been featured in recent headlines describing the condition of logistics and supply chain operations. Supply chain even made Lake Superior State University's 2022 Banished Words List, suggesting supply chain is "overused" and "the scapegoat of everything that doesn't happen or arrive on time." Weary from two years of disruption, some are even questioning if the current state of many supply chains is simply the "new normal" (#8 on the banished word list). Prior to the last two years, few outside the industry were even interested in supply chains. So, the frustration is understandable. We have grown increasingly accustomed to the convenience of selecting from a nearly unlimited array of products, purchasing with a single click, and having products delivered the same or next day. |
