Section 3.5 described the need for flexibility in our supply chain designs. Flexibility enables the supply chain to better match supply and demand despite fluctuations in either. According to a Harvard Business School report, flexibility is also needed in our project management approach to avoid big-dollar write-offs.

Their survey reports that 65 percent of executives surveyed reported that ERP systems have at least a moderate chance of hurting their businesses because of implementation problems.
