Even a cursory look at the headlines we’ve seen since 2020 reveals a ‘perfect storm’ of challenges to global supply chains. The COVID-19 pandemic directly resulted in unpredictable shifts in demand, labor shortages, and bottlenecks in manufacturing and distribution.

Higher costs are an unfortunate reality in the current supply chain environment, and they’re likely to persist despite attempts to contain costs in areas that can be controlled. This realization for supply chain leaders creates new questions about which strategies can genuinely optimize their operations while offsetting changing demand and supply disruption.
