The city of Philadelphia is eerily quiet this morning. I live in city-center Philadelphia. The manufacturers sourced the peanut butter primarily on cost. An example is the work on Performance Based Logistics (PBL). On the door of my favorite coffee shop is a closed sign. There is no traffic on the streets.

It was a sultry day in Philadelphia. Comprehensive view of source, make and deliver.

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.
