Supply Chain Disasters - What Not To Do

By Splatty • Nov 5th, 2006 • Category: Supply Chain Management

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
