By this stage in the pandemic, most of us have felt the effects of a globally disrupted supply chain and inventory shortages in some way or another. We all have that one item that keeps disappearing from our local market. For me, it’s Coke Zero and mango mochi. While these minor outages go unnoticed by the majority of people, when it comes to the shortage of a staple like chicken, people notice.

Supply shortages resulting in empty shelves or parking lots of WIP inventory represent a spectre causing supply chain leaders to reconsider supply chain inventory practices. Opinion of just-in-time (JIT) as a practice has taken a battering and inventory is rising. Calls are increasing for a return to just-in-case (JIC) policies, with some citing this trend as a risk.

Such a drive may initiate necessary transformation, but sometimes it also obscures the view of the things that are actually needed to move forward.
