Supply Chain Applied to all Types of Situations.

“Supply chain is like nature, it is all around us.” ~Dave Waters.

Engineering should have got supply chain involved early. Crazy high winds cause new bridge to collapse. Looks like amusement park ride.  https://lnkd.in/gP8XPK7G

Many of these cars had single sourced suppliers. The mechanics working on them customized many of the parts and only they knew how to fix them. Innovation happening at lightning speed. Ingenuity in Action 1950s. Full Film | NHRA Drag Racing and Hot Rod Movie.

Think about the supply chain complexity of the Fastest Plane in the World – Blackbird SR-71. Pima Aircraft Museum.

The Willys Jeep turned out to be an engineering masterpiece for World War II. In order to make enough Jeeps for the war, factories stopped making other products. Items were rationed and recycled so there would be enough material to make Jeeps and plenty of other items. This is all part of supply chain. Jeeps – making weekends more fun since 1941.

Don Garlits Sets Track Record in his front engine dragster. This video reminds me of safety. Don Garlits later debuted the first rear engine dragster that increased safety tremendously for the drivers. As supply chain professionals we should always have safety in mind.

The BBs in this video remind me of supply chain processes. Everything runs smooth until there is a back up. Then chaos happens. Chaos with over 3,000 copper marbles chewing up a funnel race maze. Sounds like a bad rain storm.

Supply chain is everywhere.  Hope you enjoyed these videos.
