Supply chain disruption refers 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, political instability, or unexpected demand changes. When a supply chain is disrupted, it can lead to delays, increased costs, and shortages of products. Businesses often rely on a network of suppliers, manufacturers, and distributors to operate smoothly. When one part of this network is affected, it can create a ripple effect, impacting the entire supply chain. Companies may need to find alternative suppliers or adjust their production schedules to mitigate these disruptions.
