Let’s kick off 2022 with a little thought experiment… What’s a problem affecting every nation on earth? One that many people and organizations are talking about but few are acting upon? One that’s difficult to contemplate yet fundamental to the very progress of civilization? One that isn’t climate change. The problem I’m describing is the urgent need to build a robust, global, end-to-end supply chain infrastructure.

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.

Uncanny. The US GDP in 2021 grew at an unexpected rate of 5.7% in the second year of the pandemic. To understand the phenomenon , the 2019 GDP was 2.16%. Traditional risk management policy assumes a contraction in growth: the conventional focus is the shutdown and reallocation of supply. Companies that viewed the pandemic as another risk management event will struggle the most with Q1 and Q2 earnings reports.

Inflation’s effects on inventory management policies are likely far from top of the mind of Logistics Viewpoints readers in today’s challenging times.
