inventory, dual sourcing and contingency (i.e., emergency) sourcing.
In many situations, firms receive some warning that the likelihood

Warehouse
By Dan Kaplan
Many companies are surprised when they find excess inventory of fast
moving items during a physical inventory. After getting over the initial
