“Save your neck or save your brother
Looks like it’s one or the other
Oh, you don’t know the shape I’m in” – From The Shape I’m In by The Band

Between disruptions, labor shortages and unprecedented demand, you could hardly blame supply chain managers for feeling like all their choices are bad, given the shape we’re in.

The state of the supply chain, and the shape we’re in, was the topic of a discussion on this week’s episode of the Mr. Beacon Podcast, hosted by Steve Statler, the SVP of marketing at Wiliot.

Be sure to listen wherever you get your podcasts.
