The Girl Scout cookie crumbled this year. Here's what happened

This year, thanks to the Raspberry Rally cookie, members got a painful lesson in what can happen when high demand meets limited supply. Predicting demand for the Rallies may have been especially difficult, because Girl Scouts introduced a whole new way to buy them, said Terry Esper, associate professor of logistics at Fisher.

Supply chain problems prompt some shortages of holiday essentials
Wine, toys, and appliances are among the items that will be harder to get this holiday season. Keely Croxton, professor of logistics, says in order to avoid future supply chain issues, companies may begin holding more inventory and avoid relying on a single supplier. The cost for this resiliency, when things return to normal, could be higher prices for consumers.
