About this audiobook

The supply chain is the long relay by which raw materials become finished things and finished things become daily life: goods flowing forward, information flowing backward, money flowing everywhere at once, across distances no single worker will ever traverse. This volume holds the relay still and opens it organ by organ: the chain of hands and handoffs; the demand signal, a voice assembled from noise; the buffer, inventory as borrowed time; the whip, the amplification that turns a wiggle at the shelf into a storm at the factory; the supplier base with its hidden tiers; the factory's tempo and the pull of the customer; the warehouse as a working machine; the transport modes and the handoffs between them; the planning ledger that governs the whole; and the long run of storms, decades, and survival.
