Supply-Chain Shockproofing: Build a 30-Day Home & Office Buffer
When deliveries stall, your buffer carries you. Map your inventory, set min/max levels, and test the plan with a short drill so gaps show up while it’s easy to fix them.

- Inventory map: Home + office zones; top 20 daily-use items.
- FIFO rotation: Labels and calendar reminders prevent waste.
- Second sources: Keep vendor phone numbers offline.
