WEEKLY SUPPLY CHAIN DECISION CHALLENGE

Challenge of the Week

Choose between imperfect responses to a practical supply-chain disruption, then inspect the service, cost and risk trade-offs.

Learn through a decision

Each scenario gives a short operating context, key facts and several plausible responses. After you choose, the page explains what each option protects, what it costs and a suggested approach. The scenarios rotate by calendar week and are designed for discussion, not as one universally correct answer.

Try this: state your decision criteria before selecting an option. Consider service commitments, available supply, lead time, capacity, cost and the quality of the information.
