Supply chain disruption has become commonplace for the vast number of manufacturers, retailers, and other businesses that today are connected to global supply chains.

These disruptions are increasingly costly – an unintended consequence of using global partnerships, single sourcing, and other strategies to squeeze every possible cost out of supply chains.
