[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All the stores are running out of toilet paper. You can’t find it online any more either. The panic buying is real.[/quote] Panic buying created the shortage.[/quote] I know. People are terrified of being stuck at home and run out of stuff.[/quote] Pandemic + historical consumer behavior + just-in-time inventory systems = shortages Warnings about this have been in studies by industry, the government and academia for many years. The question is whether grocers/food manufacturers/transportation have good pandemic plans in place for this — to resupply distribution centers and their stores. I’m more concerned about capacity to refill shelves and how long it would take. I’ve seen nothing written on this lately, but if anyone sees something on this, please post! [/quote]
