I find that most companies’ understanding of supply chain planning is immature, and that next week, at the Gartner Supply Chain Summit in Orlando, that many will don their Mickey ears to discuss what I consider outdated supply chain planning models. The investment in these outdated concepts is an opportunity cost to improve outcomes.

During the 1980s, I was on a management team for a large manufacturer. My job was redesigning work to improve effectiveness. The plant was 24 acres under one roof. The concept was a factory with many factories in a common facility. The Company was attempting to gain economies of scale by grouping manufacturing technologies within a common infrastructure to reap the benefits of a co-generation facility, a centralized warehouse, and a talented administrative team.

Who can forget watching the shocking footage of the Francis Scott Key Bridge collapse in Baltimore? When a 948-foot-long cargo ship called Dali crashed into the bridge in the early morning hours of March 26, the costs were high. Most significantly, the accident claimed the lives of six construction workers who were fixing potholes on the bridge. The total collapse of the bridge, which happened in less than 30 seconds, also resulted in the multi-year closure of a major traffic route used by more

If you want to sell products internationally, you’re going to have to pay taxes and duties upon formal entry to the destination country, right? Well, not necessarily. Many countries have what’s called the de minimis threshold which in Latin means “too small to be meaningful or taken into consideration.” Therefore if your product’s value is under a country’s particular threshold, it may be considered tax and duty-free.
