Uncertainty impairs our ability to make decisions; is the main source of forecast errors: affects the accuracy of a model; is one of the main reasons why we need to store inventory, puts strain on capacity whether it is manufacturing (production of critical items these days such as sanitizers, gloves, ventilators) or ability to serve customers (exponential lines at testing centers, ER rooms, supermarket retailers, banks, on hold call centers), and much more... In addition, no matter how well we control our 4 M's (manpower, machines, materials, and methods), there is a fifth M factor that can throw us off track unexpectedly and derail all our plans: Mother Nature! (Whether it is a weather disaster such as hurricanes or a disease) With the global spread of the pandemic due to Corona virus, we have witnessed firsthand all of the above disturbances and ravages to our economic and social life system. This crisis also made us realize the need to revisit our supply chains, specifically to be more agile in times of disasters to be able to adjust and respond swiftly and efficiently.
