Supply Chain improvement initiatives should be simple to understand and explain.
Some of the supply chain improvement projects, currently going on in various companies, look too complicated to me, requiring advance knowledge of several models, tools and processes. A few of them even use complex optimization techniques to arrive at their recommendations. These initiatives face resistance from the people who are supposed to implement them, as they can’t fully understand the logic and don’t want to blindly depend on the black box output.
The best initiatives are generally simple in nature and easy to understand. The logic looks quite obvious in hindsight. The easier it is to understand, the better chance it has of getting implemented.
