According to Gartner, 68% of supply chain executives responded to one high-impact disruption after the next for the past several years, including limited stock due to struggles with availability and lagging delivery of raw materials.

Dealing with inflation as business managers is about protecting profit margins, maintaining vendor and customer communication and relationships, and, in today’s tight labor market, making sure your employees are properly compensated. This is a period when a well-thought-out, competitive-advantage-based pricing strategy is imperative. |
