Disintermediation

Pattern description

Disintermediation is the removal of intermediaries in economics from a supply chain, or cutting out the middlemen in connection with a transaction or a series of transactions. Instead of going through traditional distribution channels, which had some type of intermediary (such as a distributor, wholesaler, broker, or agent), companies may now deal with customers directly, for example via the Internet.

Inventive problems

The company should perform all logistical operations by itself to ensure the development, production and sale of the product.

The company should perform as small an amount of logistical operations as possible by itself to reduce the costs.
