Omnichannel supply chains have become increasingly more common in the modern transportation network. As a result, a great deal of confusion has arisen about what omnichannel chains are and what they are not. Much like multichannel supply chains, an omnichannel approach functions to meet customer needs in various channels of shopping and shipping. It enables the expansion of service levels to meet customer expectations while maintaining an eye on keeping overhead costs in check.

Two adjectives that often describe the most successful supply chains are adaptive and resilient. An adaptive supply chain is one that is able to respond quickly to changes and disruption, and the ensuing changes to demand. A resilient supply chain is able to recover quickly from these disruptions. These terms perfectly describe the Asian Paints supply chain.

Demand forecasting is tough, and getting it right over the entire product lifecycle during the course of launch, maturation, and end-of-life is tougher still. This is true for any business with sizable turnover in the product portfolio and especially in industries like retail , electronics, and aftermarket parts. Forecasting new product introductions is difficult because you don’t have sales history, and you don’t have a good idea of how quickly the product will take off.

In our new article, Two Perspectives on Supply Chain Resilience (Wieland & Durach, 2021), we provide a new definition of supply chain resilience: Supply chain resilience is the capacity of a supply chain to persist, adapt, or transform in the face of change. Based on our observation that SCM scholars have often taken an engineer’s perspective to interpret supply chain resilience, we argue that it needs to be complemented with a social–ecological perspective.
