Supply chain resilience. You’ve heard the phrase more times in the past year than ever before. But before you dismiss “supply chain resilience” as just another industry buzzword, you must understand what it truly means and how it impacts your business. Why?

Levent Ozsahin, Managing Partner at Advancetics B.V. It’s human nature to miscalculate how best to respond to supply chain disruptions–either over- or under-steering in anticipation of a crisis. Optimists often delay preparing for supply chain disruption for fear that contingency actions lead to self-fulfilling prophecies. Pessimists are known to ‘catastrophize’ and prepare for such dire outcomes that they become blind to any potential silver linings.

The concept of cost to serve is very simple but I am always amazed at how few businesses and supply chain managers really understand it. Let’s start with an uncomplicated example: Company A is in the business of distributing whiteboard markers. Among other colours, they have green ones and they have blue ones. If they are going to understand their cost to serve, they need to know the cost of shipping, for example, the green one to a customer.
