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?

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.

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.
