Despite two decades of advancement in supply chain technologies, companies are struggling to gain balance at the intersection of operating margin, inventory turns and case fulfillment.

I knew nothing about the world of logistics, inventory management and order optimization.

When source, make and deliver report to the same organization, progress is quicker. I advocate a portfolio of growth, EBITDA or operating margin, inventory turns, on-time and in-full shipments, and Return on Invested Capital (ROIC). Companies with the greatest progress have a common leader for source, make and deliver.
