Having just a single supplier can be pretty risky, there could be situations where w customer my need a particular product urgently and your supplier foes not have, it means you would end up loosing that supplier.

What is the essence of being in the business if you don't have good supply chain to your products?. Suppliers are the networks that are making the business maintaining its going concern policy.

That's true, in industries it happens sometimes a supplier may not be able to fulfill the demand so it may be helpful to have two suppliers for the same material. I have see such situation when having two suppliers for an item turns out to be very handy.

Whatever we sell we need to have at least 2 Suppliers and the more suppliers we have the better it will be as we can get competitive prices and can get timely delivery and if we don't have more than 1 supplier then we will surely suffer.
Yes, I agree with your approach here. If you have just a single supplier and they fail to meet your requirements on time - your business will suffer greatly, thus it is better to have more suppliers for better brand image.

1. Improved Quality: Having more suppliers means that businesses can compare quality and prices from different sources, allowing them to choose the best option for their needs.

2. Increased Competition: Having more suppliers can create more competition, which can lead to better prices and services.

3. Increased Flexibility: With multiple suppliers, businesses can switch suppliers more easily if one fails to meet their needs.
