Overview
Supply chain disruption and supply chain management are two critical aspects of logistics that have gained significant attention in recent years, particularly with the rise of e-commerce giants like Amazon and the impact of global events like the COVID-19 pandemic, as discussed by experts like Tim Cook and analyzed by companies like McKinsey. Effective supply chain management, as seen in companies like Walmart and Apple, can help mitigate disruptions, but it requires a deep understanding of the differences between these two concepts. For instance, a study by the Harvard Business Review found that companies that invested in supply chain resilience, like Cisco and Intel, were better equipped to handle disruptions than those that did not, as noted by supply chain experts like David Simchi-Levi.
