The increasing number of customers and their changing relationships with time make this dynamic system more complex. The complexity of this growing system leads to unpredictable problems. Many factors that can be observed or not observed as the cause of this complexity can be shown. In the global world where the competitive environment is increasing, companies see this as the best way to solve this complexity as the perfect functioning of every link in the supply chain. The effects of a number of factors that are ignored and thought to be small enough to have no effect in the supply chain have been demonstrated by analysis. A small hitch in any part of the chain can lead to an inevitable chaos in the supply chain.
