Supply chain planning projects are often approved on the back of the promise of lower inventory levels. In a recent conversation, I was asked a more nuanced question: whether right-sizing inventory via better supply chain planning improves earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA). This blog tries to address this question.

July is my birthday month. In the middle of busy travel, I made time for the annual physical. The reason? I know that early detection is the key to wellness. It is a familiar ritual. The nurse quickly assesses blood pressure, pulse, blood oxygen, height and weight. Lab work testing follows vital sign analysis. Only when the tests are complete, can I have a meaningful conversation with the physician about my health.

Cycle counting is often thought of as a ‘necessary evil.’ With automation and mobile inventory management, it doesn’t have to be. When it comes to cutting overhead costs and improving operational efficiencies, cycle counting is often the last thing warehouse managers think about. Because of this, the process tends to get forgotten or overlooked as an area for efficiency improvement, even though it continues to suck up time, labor and resources when performed manually.

Supply chain leaders and managers have a mountain of responsibilities and oversee vast enterprises. Timeliness, speed, and order accuracy are some of the most in-demand aspects of today’s omnichannel world, but significant challenges still exist with inventory visibility. Failure to overcome these challenges will lead to additional problems throughout the supply chain, resulting in poor customer service, says Dave Blanchard of Industry Week.

That announcement was seen as a possible indication of the fraying relationship between Amazon and carriers – a potential harbinger of Amazon beginning to take on its own deliveries in earnest. It now seems that things are moving faster than expected.

A phrase that often popped up during Cold War military conversations was, “Quantity has a quality all its own.” It’s a phrase that could very well have originated in the age of big data rather during the Cold War. The World Economic Forum declared data a valuable resource, like oil or gold; and, because data is valuable, one’s first thought is you can’t have too much of it.

THE CASE FOR BANNING MANAGEMENT BY EXCEPTION. I’ll admit it. I hate management by exception. See that gorilla in the window. Well, there was a time when it was just a cute little baby gorilla. In fact, it was so tiny it could have been tempting to imagine it wasn’t ‘significant’ enough to count as an exception. Big mistake. No, huge mistake. In my experience, management by exception always leads to busted delivery dates.

A great pricing strategy is one of the tenets of a successful business. Setting the right price is no easy feat — setting it too low might attract interest, but it can fail to offset your costs. At the same time, setting higher prices might risk you pushing potential customers away. A pricing strategy, such as customer discount pricing, can help you optimise the way you price your products.
