In simple terms, “butterfly effect” is if you make a small mistake in supply chain management today, it will come as big blow or big problem soon or in near future. Examples: If you make small mistake in preparing specifications, the whole tending process will become wrong and probably, you shall have to re-tender again, which will delay the procurement process.
