Every organization has internal supply chains and links to external suppliers and customers. Interlinking organizations span the spectrum from raw materials to finished products and services in the hands of the consumer. The supply chain extends even to final disposition of the commodities consumed from concept to grave. The structured dependency of such chains and the uncertainty of forecasts and systemic delays are amplified as individual links in the supply chain try to optimize their performance. Even minor changes in the market can cause wild swings in economic performance.
