A Change in Perspective

“A recent study found the average American golfer walks about 900 miles a
year. Another study found American golfers drink, on
average, 22 gallons of alcohol a year.
That means, on average, American golfers get about
41 miles to the gallon.
Kind of makes you proud…”

The contemporary emphasis on cycle time compression, for example, may result in a multitude of smaller shipments moving by fast, fuel-inefficient forms of transportation. Environmentally responsible logistics programs, by contrast, are more comfortable with fewer, larger shipments moving by slow, fuel-efficient forms of transportation.

Is Lean Necessarily Green?
WELCOME to the FORUM19
We talk about supply chains….
But how many of us only know about our supply links – our immediate suppliers and customers?
The future belongs to multi-tier visibility:
• What do our customers’ customers want?
• What are our suppliers’ suppliers doing?
Do You Track a Chain or a Link?
WELCOME to the FORUM20
If you don’t know what your customers’
customers or suppliers’
suppliers are doing, will they
be like an anchor for your
business?
If there is a problem with a consumer-oriented product, the CPSC can ask for the history of any product shipped to or within the US. The can ask
for information on who produced which components and when – and what compounds or ingredients
were used in production. Are you ready to provide this information this if you have a problem?
Or will understanding
them be a sense of
strength for you?
