Less is more in supply chains.
Many Supply Chain professionals struggle with too many interventions and improvement projects. Once the supply chain design is fine tuned for the specific business context, we should aim for less interventions, fewer rules, less firefighting, less complexity, and fewer measures.
Supply Chain initiatives should also focus on smaller batch size, lower lead time, faster response to demand changes, lower inventory, and fewer stockouts.
A handful of consumer-focused supply chain initiatives deliver much better results than a plethora of large, disjointed projects trying to improve each leg of the value chain. Consumer focus, systems thinking, and global optimization are the key.
