How to Handle Shortages

Shortages can cause a typical brand to lose profits of up to 5% of a brand’s total shipped COGS on Amazon.

Your team’s lack of visibility into status, the time it takes to manage shortages, the delayed cash collection, and confusing policies are just as costly. 

These frustrations will only escalate as other retailers follow in Amazon's wake in an effort to reach zero-defect supply chains.

Guest speaker Cheryl B. Stark knows shortages well. Before founding her supply chain consultancy, she spent 15 years leading and managing supply chain strategy for Mondelēz International and Kraft Heinz.
