Let me give you a couple of supply chain buzzwords for 2017; ‘Amazon’ and ‘Customer-Centricity’. Neither should be a huge surprise. Amazon has been the retail and supply chain story of 2016 but also for much of the previous decade. It has been growing almost exponentially with its revenue curve steepening sharply from the middle of the last decade so that in 2015 it turned over some $107Bn.
