Delves into supply chains ‐ and possible effects of Y2K on them ‐ and their possible complex nature. Includes discussion on US retailer Home Depot and Toyota's UK plant. Contends that more and more organizations are considering stockpiling in lean systems, for example the USA has already built up 2‐3 months supply of petrol in reserve as a precautionary measure. Depicts a checklist in a shaded box for information and aid in addressing supply chain issues.
