May 2022 Professional Development Meeting

 

Topic:

Is Your Supply Chain More Like a Ship or a Boat?

 

with Anthony Zampello

 

During this presentation we will be discussing the way a supply chain is designed and how best to strengthen it. A supply chain extends from earth to earth, but we'll concentrate on your suppliers' suppliers to your suppliers to your company to your customers and their customers.

 

  • Is your lead time to your customers longer than they would like it to be? Is it hindering you as a competitor in your market?
  • Does a hiccup at your supplier shut down your conversion process?
  • Is your inventory higher than you can really afford?

    •  

    This presentation will hit on these questions and more.

     

    Join us and help us all get better by participating in the discussion.
