Another look at visualizing supply chain risk, from MIT. When these guys get on top of something it must be a burning issue. Watch the video inside the article.
How MIT Visualizes Supply Chain Risk – Supply Chain 24/7.
I talked about David Simchi-Levi’s vision of supply chain risk before. This is another approach, based on visualization. It raises the question of how good the data back of it is, but that is always a problem.
Of course here they are promoting their software to visualize the supply chain.

George Stalk has come up with the notion of a two-speed supply chain, one which can respond quickly for developing countries growing fast, and one that can function well in the slow or no growth of developed nations. It is an intriguing idea.
But perhaps just as interesting is his take on congestion and the lack of infrastructure growth in the US. It’s an old story, perhaps getting its due now, and one that needs shouting out.
