Omni-channel business models often lead to more complicated global supply chains.

A consequence of long periods of economic growth, like the one we just had from June 2009 until March 2020, is that many members of the supply chain team have only experienced managing a supply chain during growth. Even experienced supply chain members may have forgotten what they learned during the last recession more than 10 years ago. The challenge for today’s supply chains is to not repeat the same mistakes made during the last recessionary period.
