Toilet paper – and the global supply chain

Toilet paper, of all things. Have you also repeatedly stood in front of empty shelves in the last few weeks? And at first you asked yourself how to get supplies and when will it be urgent? Perhaps you have also asked yourself why it takes so long to get supplies…

But what do toilet paper, supply chain and international standards have to do with each other?

Take a look for yourself …

The toilet paper supply chain as part of the global supply chain using international standards

Digital business processes, such as ordering, invoicing, or delivery, are necessary to produce and deliver toilet paper and other products and goods. International standards provide content and structure so that systems can communicate with each other and thus ensure a smooth flow of information between companies.
