This book is about supply chain viability. A viable supply chain possesses the requisite variety and feedback mechanisms to adapt and respond to multiple future scenarios without knowing them in advance, ensuring both performance and the persistence of purpose. Viability views supply chains more as living organisms and less as engineered mechanisms. This expands the purpose of the supply chain from an operational asset focused on cost efficiency to a strategic integrator of business, socie...
