Supply chain management
Overview

Getting goods from their point of origin to their point of sale in a timely and predictable manner involves supply chains, which can be highly complex. Managing them well is critical – because if a part isn’t available from oversees, a production line can grind to a halt. If a finished product is held up in port, a company’s sales can dry up in an instant. Without a strong supply chain, your sister doesn't get her new iPhone, Fido doesn't get his next food delivery, and you don't get your MrBeast Burger. If consumers can’t get medicine, or baby formula, the consequences can be even more dire. The ripple effects of supply chain problems can impact entire economies – and entire societies.
