Why it matters

Supply chain stopped being a cost topic and became a continuity topic. After the last few years, the question in committees is no longer how much I save by buying there, but what I do if tomorrow I cannot buy there at all.

My reading goes through visibility upstream. Almost every company knows who its supplier is; very few know who their supplier's supplier is. And it is there, at the second tier, that the surprises which stop a production line usually live.

What usually goes wrong

Where it usually breaks is inventory data quality. The system says one figure and the warehouse holds another, and everything gets planned on that difference. No visibility project helps if the starting number is wrong; it only makes the error travel faster and reach further.

What to watch

  • How it hits transport costs and lead times, which move fast in this region.
  • Where the concentration sits: one supplier, one route or one port with no replacement.
  • How many days of operation inventory covers if that dependency is cut.

How I read this entry

If this touched an operation I know, the first thing I would build is the map of critical dependencies: which inputs have no second source and how long inventory lasts if supply is cut. It is a two-week exercise and it completely changes the risk conversation with the board.
