Your supply chain is a complex system driven by a large number of variables and stakeholders all interconnected and completely vulnerable to the “butterfly effect.” If you’re a fan of physics or science fiction, you’ll get it! If not, we’re here to explain.
The butterfly effect can plague your supply chain
The theory goes that even the tiny flutter of a butterfly’s wings in the Amazon jungle can set off a series of connected weather events across continents.
While your supply chain might not have the same monumental impact as an extreme heat wave, a lack of visibility and control can make your world much less comfortable. Here’s a scenario: You see a boost in demand for a particular product, and the orders start pouring in. That’s great news, right? Not if you don’t have the shipping or inventory muscle to deliver or real-time insight to understand where your pipeline is stuck and how to get things moving. The result – poor customer experience and, perhaps, even a lost customer. What’s happened is that a seemingly minor inventory oversight has led to an exponential loss if you think about it in terms of lifetime customer value.
