Top 10 Supply Chain Jokes

Top 10 supply chain jokes. Apologies in advance if you find this 
offensive. I do believe there is value in forecasting… 

1. What do you get if you play a supply chain country song backwards? 
You get your revenue back, you get your margin back, you get your 
on-time delivery back… 

2. How many supply chain planners does it take to change a light 
bulb? None, the light bulbs are late. 

3. What's the difference between big foot and an accurate 
forecast? Big foot has been sighted. 

4. Why is it better to have a woman as the buyer? Because a male 
buyer will pay $2 for a $1 item he needs. 

5. Why is it better to have a man as the buyer? Because a female 
buyer will pay $1 for a $2 item she doesn't need but is on sale. 

6. The easiest way to find that missing inventory is to place a new 
PO. 

7. Demand forecasters are like Slinkies. Not really good for 
anything, but you still can't help but smile when you see one tumble 
down the stairs. 

8. Employer: "For this buyer's job, we need someone who is 
responsible." 
Applicant: "I'm the one you want. In my last procurement job, 
every time there was a problem, they said I was responsible." 

9. If you're a supplier and you think nobody cares if you're 
alive, try missing a couple of delivery dates. 

10. There are two theories to getting an accurate forecast. Neither 
one works.
