The most powerful supply chain solutions are based on inherent simplicity.
Supply chain improvement is not a rocket science. If we stay focused on improving the consumer relevant parameters of availability, freshness, and assortment, and avoid trade-offs between these three, we will zero in on simple solutions.
Many teams approach these improvement areas independently and end up with initiatives which improve a particular parameter at the cost of the other two. Such solutions are difficult to sustain in the long run.
My suggestion would be to consider them together and look for those deep root causes which affect all these three adversely. Eliminating those root causes are the simple initiatives we need, to simultaneously improve all the three parameters.
These simple solutions, devoid of jargons, turn out to be the most powerful supply chain improvement initiatives.
