"As to why just-in-time has given way to just-in-case, most folks I’ve talked with say it ties back to one of the watershed moments that has impacted the world since the start of the 2020s — the COVID pandemic." The new normal in inventory management per CropLife: https://lnkd.in/euUFttXz?

Interesting weekend reading for Supply Chain enthusiasts! Planting trees must be done 3-10 years in advance. Accurate harvesting forecasting is of course critical. Forecasting too few, and there will be mass shortages. Forecasting too many will leave unsold cut tree inventory. Excess inventory has to be hauled away at additional cost to growers and resellers. 🎄✨ #SupplyChainMagic https://lnkd.in/efW4Nf_R

🌐 Decoding the Art of Supply Chain Management 🌐 Ever wondered about the fascinating journey your morning bowl of cornflakes takes before reaching your table? 🌽 Let's unravel the supply chain magic that transforms simple corn seeds into that beloved box of cornflakes! Seed to Harvest: It all begins in the hands of skilled farmers who plant, nurture, and harvest corn crops – the essential raw material. From Farm to Processor: The harvested corn makes its way to processing facilities, where it undergoes a transformation into the crispy delight we know as cornflakes. Baking and Packaging: Post-processing, the cornflakes undergo baking and are carefully packaged, ensuring freshness and quality. Warehousing & Distribution: The packaged cornflakes find their way to warehouses, strategically positioned to facilitate efficient distribution. Distributor to Retail: Transportation networks kick in as distributors deliver the cornflakes to retail stores, ready to meet the demands of eager consumers. On the Shelf: The product graces the store shelves, enticing shoppers with its presence, and creating a vital link between producers and consumers. Consumer's Choice: The decision is now in the hands of the consumer, who selects and purchases the cornflakes based on individual preferences. Expiration Date Vigilance: The clock ticks as the product awaits its destiny. If unsold by the expiration date, careful removal ensures quality control. From Plate to Bin: Finally, the cornflakes fulfill their destiny as a delightful breakfast, creating a full circle from the farm to your table and, in some cases, back to the earth. 🚀 Why is Supply Chain Management Vital? 🚀 This intricate dance showcases the essence of supply chain management. It's the silent orchestrator that ensures efficiency, quality, and timeliness at every step. From dirt to dirt, quite literally, supply chain management weaves together the threads of commerce, connecting producers, processors, distributors, retailers, and consumers in a seamless journey. Every box of cornflakes is a testament to the power of a well-managed supply chain, where each link plays a crucial role. So, next time you enjoy your morning bowl, take a moment to appreciate the symphony of efforts that brought it to your table. 🌐✨ #supplychainmanagement #upstream #downstream #manufacturing #logisticsmanagement #continuouslearning

Chairman at Smart Trade Networks | Author of China, Trust & Digital Supply Chains | Research Leader in Value Flows, Distributed Networks & Supply Chain Integrity | International Political Economy | Impact Analyst Expert
Disparities in supply chain power are the core reason for a fundamental misalignment between total supply chain value (what’s paid by consumers) and how that is distributed. That’s a question of system structure and political economy. Technology may enable forms of disintermediation but these can’t happen piecemeal. Collective effort is required from buyers and producers to realise the scale needed for meaningful supply chain value redistribution. #supplychains #economicpower
Farmers paid too little, shoppers charged too much – it’s a win-win for Australia’s supermarkets
