The Fragility of Efficiency

Maximizing efficiency often leads to fragility in supply chains and economic systems. The pursuit of globalization and just-in-time inventory practices has created supply chains that are highly efficient yet lack resilience, making them susceptible to collapse. This lack of resilience was evident during economic downturns when the financial system, heavily reliant on efficiency, risked total failure without the intervention of central banks. Thus, a balance needs to be struck between efficiency and resilience to prevent such systemic crises in the future.
