Supply chain disruptions

Supply chain disruptions refer to interruptions in the flow of goods and services from suppliers to consumers. These disruptions can occur due to various factors, such as natural disasters, geopolitical tensions, labor strikes, or pandemics. When a disruption happens, it can delay production, increase costs, and lead to shortages of products. For example, if a factory shuts down because of a hurricane, parts needed for manufacturing might not arrive on time, affecting everything from electronics to food supplies. Businesses must adapt to these challenges to maintain smooth operations and meet customer demand.
