Just in Time Supply Chain.
Yet another example of how MBAs are destroying the planet.
As far back as the 90s, I expected that this would go spectacularly wrong someday....
Our nation’s supply chains are more resilient and flexible than they've ever been.
What our supply chains CANNOT do, however, is respond effectively to chaotic and disruptive behavior by CUSTOMERS. An empty grocery store caused by a hurricane or earthquake is one thing. A grocery store that has been emptied by hordes of morons buying five or ten times more grocery items than they need is a whole different matter. Let’s not hold retailers responsible for the irresponsible behavior of morons.
If you’re looking to blame someone, go to the source: Us.
Those who worked hard, saved money, saved for retirement - and for some crazy reason expected a good return on our 401Ks and IRAs. Which, thanks to those MBAs, has been provided quarter after quarter, year after year.
It hasn’t worked for us for years, I just wish we still had a few independent businesses w/inventory. You have to wait 2 or 3 days for most everything. We order over the internet because the brick and mortars charge freight on orders too.
My son was very sick and working 12 hours a day, we just called and messaged for 2 weeks. He is finally feeling better and needed a few things but all the things he’s out of the stores are out of also. I was able to help but if not he’d be using napkins and paper towels and maybe old socks, lol.
Yep. The basic vocabulary of the major university programs.
