Perhaps the easiest way in which supply chain organizations can get visibility is by impacting revenue. Unfortunately, this is usually the negative visibility of missing end-of-quarter revenue targets. Several issues can get in the way of a smooth supply of products: poor forecasting, accuracy and timeliness of information flow, supplier obsolescence, flexibility and upside plans, quality, and supplier capacity, to name a few. Flexibility plans are an insurance policy against unforeseen demand and problems in the continuous supply of products. Like any insurance policy, they are only useful if they are in place at the time they are needed.
