With shipping logjams slated to continue throughout the next six months, some are predicting what’s being called “a never-ending peak season” for all of 2022, in which there’s less supply than demand.

Bodies might need only an annual physical, but supply chains benefit from quarterly checkups.

When analyzing supply chain risk, logistics managers tend to focus on widespread disruptions such as environmental disasters and pandemics. There are, however, less visible but no less powerful changes that can likewise derail an unprepared supply chain.

A lot of factors go into the success or failure of consumer brands, but one of them stands out today: the supply chain.

Don’t expect shoppers to abandon the convenience and ease of efficient e-commerce once the pandemic wanes.

Nick Banich, chief revenue officer for North America with Miebach Consulting, Inc., relates how a combination of growing demand unpredictability and new technology tools is motivating supply chain managers to speed up the decision-making process.
