Some supply chain humour before Christmas, 10 reasons why your holiday gift will be delivered late (by Kinaxis)

10. Santa made a tactical error in choosing a "fly by night" 3PL instead of his usual crew of reindeer.

9. Santa refused to go through the body scanner and the TSA is still patting him down (he's a big guy you know...)

8. Santa outsourced to China and lead times have ballooned - it will be a "Christmas in July" scenario for many!

7. Global warming has advanced to the point that the North Pole melted.

6. Pixie dust is on allocation.

5. The fireplace in Santa's North Pole residence was mistakenly filled with Kindles instead of kindling.

4. Santa's visibility only extends to the bottom of his eggnog glass.

3. Santa bought ERP...and is still implementing.

2. The “naughty” and “nice” data fell into an Excel abyss. Guess which list you ended up on?

1. Santa told key members of his manufacturing team, "Go elf yourself."

Merry Christmas!!!!
