Supply Chain Lessons Every Entrepreneur Should Know
Five hard-won lessons from operators who scaled through the messy middle.
First: single points of failure will find you. Diversify carriers, suppliers and locations earlier than feels necessary.
Second: measure damage rates religiously. It is the fastest signal that something is wrong upstream.
Third: build for peak, not average. Diwali, EOSS and product launches will break anything not designed to flex.
Fourth: talk to your operations team weekly. They know what is breaking before your dashboards do.
Fifth: logistics is a growth function. Treat it like one.
