March Madness: The Greatest Upsets
What can the greatest March Madness upsets of all time teach you about your supply chain?
What can logistics professionals learn from past March Madness upsets to protect their supply chains from future disruptions?
Anything can happen during March Madness: an unbeatable coach loses with a last second buzzer-beater, a Cinderella team rises from the ashes, a powerhouse team falls apart.
These types of monumental upsets happen each spring, though they certainly are not contained to the hardcourt. Supply chain professionals compete with upsets in the form of supply chain disruptions such as inclement weather, labor disputes, capacity crunches and rising costs, not just every spring, but every day, month and year.
In fact, 40% of supply chain managers have experienced some sort of supply chain disruption upset in the past twelve months. They know that disruptions and upsets are inevitable and know no season, geography or period in time.
