Ships on the Suez Are Moving, but Your Inventory Probably Isn’t

Supply Chain Mavens is pleased to present our first whitepaper, Ships on the Suez Are Moving, but Your Inventory Probably Isn’t. Supply chain experts Gary Smith, Maryanne Ross and Yu-Cheng Chien CSCP-F, CPIM, CLTD collaborated to explore the continued impact of the Suez disaster on supply chains.

Expecting the Unexpected
For the past year, Supply Chain Managers have been hearing that their supply chain disruptions have been caused by yet another Black Swan event: the global pandemic, the snowstorm deep in the heart of Texas, and now the huge cargo ship stuck for six days in the Suez Canal. Did we miss any? 

Add these unexpected events (and the ripple effect that they have caused and will continue to cause) to the more customary disruptions that a global organization faces, and you have your 19th nervous breakdown.

In the paper, we provide step-by-step guidance on how to plan for the next disruption before it happens, and how to recover quickly from a sudden, unexpected event that impacts supply chains. 

Don’t let sudden disruptions get you off your game. APICS Certification will help you hit the curveballs out of the park. Learn about our exam preparation services.
