About this ebook

Supply Chain Delays explores the intricate challenges plaguing global supply chains, delving into the root causes of disruptions and offering solutions for businesses and policymakers. The book reveals how vulnerabilities in globally distributed networks and the evolution of trade practices have led to significant economic disruptions. For example, while just-in-time manufacturing initially boosted efficiency, it also created new points of failure susceptible to unforeseen events. The book emphasizes the need for resilience and adaptability over solely focusing on cost minimization in supply chain management.

It progresses from foundational concepts like sourcing and transportation to analyzing factors causing delays, such as raw material shortages and labor imbalances. The book also explores the economic ramifications of these delays, including their impact on inflation and GDP growth.

Ultimately, Supply Chain Delays provides a comprehensive understanding of modern supply chain challenges, advocating for strategic inventory management, diversification of suppliers, and investment in advanced technologies. Through real-world logistics data and case studies, it offers actionable insights for improving supply chain resilience and mitigating the impact of disruptions, making it a valuable resource for business executives, economists, and policymakers.
