Preventing the Mother Hubbard situation

Abstract

Strategic variables affecting business more strongly today than in the past are inflation, global competition, and an increasingly restrictive business environment resulting from governmental laws and regulations. However, in the years ahead impact from shortages could be greater than that from all the others combined. Companies have been able to adjust to changes in most of the variables, but the threat of stockouts poses tremendous difficulties and challenges for business.
