Nice post.

During the 1999 thru 2001 .com/new construction boom I was with a Gypsum Manufacture. The company (James Hardie Industries) had plants in Arkansas,Washington State, Southern California and the Blue Diamond Mine in Nevada. Our production lines ran 24/7, as soon as units of Drywall hit the forklift they went on the trucks, no storage build up was possible. It ran like this for several seasons I recall, it was an amazing experience and supply was behind demand on a national scale. USG and Georgia Pacific GP and others could not keep up either. I covered 11 western United States of National Account Distribuition (Lowes/Home Depot/Boise Cascade Etc). The numbers that came thru my desk were staggering and record breaking. We survived...lol and simply put... people waited and orders were eventually filled. Supply chain technology developed in those years to the EDI system that tracks inventories today. "The Right Team" with the Right Supply Chain Plan and the right Custom Built Software are key investments and are essential in meeting the surging demand.
