Are you comfortable with your current Supply Chain performance?

Supply chain improvement is an ongoing journey. Whatever be the current level of performance on key parameters, we can always improve it. However, improvement beyond a certain point requires getting out of our comfort zone.

If we feel comfortable with the current level of performance, we are probably operating in our comfort zone. Further improvements would mean certain amount of discomfort. If we are clear about the direction of solution and further improvements are in that direction, we should learn to embrace discomfort and keep moving on the improvement journey.

A sailing ship is most comfortable in steady sea waters. However, if it wants to reach the shore, it must embrace discomfort and pass through a bit of turbulence before reaching the destination!
