I knew nothing about the world of logistics, inventory management and order optimization. Much to my chagrin, when I entered into the world of supply chain, the processes of source, make and deliver were usually not designed. Instead, I think that it needs to be holistic to balance the trade-offs of source, make and deliver together.

When source, make and deliver report to the same organization, progress is quicker. I advocate a portfolio of growth, EBITDA or operating margin, inventory turns, on-time and in-full shipments, and Return on Invested Capital (ROIC). Companies with the greatest progress have a common leader for source, make and deliver.

How will transportation, inventory, and sourcing policy decisions change in light of this cheap oil environment? Like oil prices, interest rates impact supply chain policies and decisions, especially with regards to inventory. Will interest rates continue to climb in 2016, and if so, what impact will it have on inventory levels?

In manufacturing-based companies, 70-80% of costs are in the processes of source, make and deliver. While the practices of finance are over 200 years old, in contrast, supply chain as a cross-functional practice (the combination of make, source and deliver) was recently defined in 1982. Is talent a cost or an asset?

While companies want to improve costs and inventory, most are going backwards. The Supply Chain is a Complex System with Increasing Complexity.
