I write a weekly newsletter for supply chain professionals who are tired of reading about disruptions without a clue on what to do next.
For people who manage complexity every day — and want to stay one step ahead.
You already know the field. You don't need another 101. This is what Chain Reaction does differently.
I write from inside the field, not from a consulting slide deck. These are real decisions I face, real trade-offs I weigh — and I don't hide behind jargon.
Something happened this week. What does it actually mean for your operations? And what can you do about it before Monday? That's the structure of every issue.
I talk to purchasing, finance, logistics, planning, and commercial every day. That's the perspective I bring — because a supply chain problem is never just a supply chain problem.
I use AI every day in my work. It's powerful when you know what to ask and useless when you don't. I share both sides — no "revolutionary" anything.
Every issue connects operations to the numbers that matter — P&L, working capital, cash flow. The part you can actually bring to a CFO meeting.
I respect your time. No filler, no "in today's complex landscape." You get the signal, what it means, and what to do. That's it.
Every week I pick the most relevant signal — a disruption, a policy shift, a data point that most people missed — and I break down what it actually means for someone managing inventory, margins, or supplier relationships. No summaries, no roundups. Just: here's what happened, here's what it means for you, and here's what you might want to do about it.
My name is Fabio Luraschi. I've spent 10 years in inventory and supply chain management in retail and fashion — two industries where complexity is the default and "we've always done it this way" is the enemy. My days look like this: talking to purchasing in the morning, reviewing financials before lunch, solving a logistics issue after, and sitting with commercial to figure out next season's plan. That cross-functional view is what I bring to everything I write.
I started Chain Reaction because I noticed something that kept bothering me: every function in a company operates in its own world. Supply chain talks about service levels, finance talks about ROCE, procurement talks about cost — and nobody translates between them. I sit at the intersection of all these conversations. That's rare. And that's exactly the perspective I think is missing from most supply chain content out there.
These are the angles I keep coming back to. Not because I planned them — because they're what matters most in the work I do every day.
Every issue is built to be useful the week it comes out. Here's what's been published so far.
#01 Not deciding is still a decision. It's the most expensive one. Signal to Action Coming soonOnce a month I sit down with a senior professional — a VP, a director, a strategist — and ask them what they're actually seeing from their side of the chain.
The weekly newsletter gives you the signal and the action. These go further — the kind of analysis and tools I build for my own work, now available to you.
One topic, explored thoroughly. How to model tariff impact on working capital. When to renegotiate vs. dual-source. The kind of analysis that takes a full afternoon — done for you.
Templates I actually use in my job — safety stock calculators, supplier risk scorecards, inventory health dashboards. Practical, not theoretical.
Every quarter, a complete operational framework — step by step, ready to adapt. The kind of structured thinking that usually lives inside consulting decks you'd pay thousands for.
The free tier gives you everything you need to stay sharp. The paid tiers are for people who want to go deeper and get the tools.
Chain Reaction lands every Monday with the week's most relevant signal, what it means for your operations, and a concrete action plan. No spam, no fluff. Free.
