The Domino and the Bullwhip: Dissecting Supply Chain Disruptions
The pandemic has impacted inventory and supply chains for more than a year. Inventory peaks and valleys are amplified from one step to the next (the “bullwhip effect”) and port and hub bottlenecks are disrupting the rest of the supply chain downstream (“domino effect”).
Dean Croke, DAT Principle Analyst, and Chris Caplice, DAT Chief Scientist, will discuss the compounding effect of supply chain disruptions and what the industry can learn from these challenges.
