I ran across this article from Supply Chain Digest recently and even though it was first published earlier in the year I thought it was worthwhile to post here. Dan Gilmore talks about what he determines are the “Worst Supply Chain Disasters” of all time.
My favorite:
- Foxmeyer’s 1996 Distribution Disaster: New order management and warehouse automation systems lead to inability to ship product and failure to achieve expected savings; bankruptcy and sale of the company follow
