Wastage in the system.
The many factors required for time dependent supply management, something every generation must learn. What computer operating systems shall never master it seems, as we are in effect so good at creating systems that simply cater to the eternal creation of data, and data storage, not what perishes or that is period dependent for usage.
Again, something that can be taught at the juvenile level and is a significant factor to remediating waste and fine tuning management.
Time frames for supply, expiry of product, exact demand, acceptable surplus. The basics of minimum and maximums within supply management and the why. Why we need what we need, the role of the product to give respect to the process, not palm it off to a software package.
As alas, software packages are yet to develop an aspect of humanism called respect.
How to finetune logistics without the trend we are seeing, that is, the only companies managing logistics effectively is largely due to the fact they have financial surplus to err and are also creating waste to meet demand.
Excess as the only means for success.
This is a significant issue.
Again, baseline education at the juvenile level for what humanism is required ongoing in an increasingly digitized world for governance.
The ongoing auditing and improvement to the systems our predecessors established, which can only be executed with knowledge of what baseline inputs the systems are comprised of to unpack and finetune.
Optimization from human input not a just software package, is something that is pertinent to each and every generation now.
As supply chains correcting surplus, while still meeting needs to sustain human rights, is an art.
Also where consolidation of waste starts.
The true meaning of abundance is not necessarily excess. It is reliability in system creation and safety nets where needed for system security.
Circular economies or even better, Hamiltonian circuits to connect us as a species regardless of cultural difference.
With respect to the how much sustainability can be maintained at each vertex within the circuit created.
