Get Out From Under Those Mountains Of Work And Drudgery!
I haven’t met a supply chain professional recently that doesn’t tell me that they are overworked, overwhelmed, understaffed and ready to throw up their hands in frustration with all the multifaceted demands on their time and resources.
Not only do supply chain professionals need to keep their supply chain humming like never before, but they now must find time for technology assessment, value analysis, disaster planning, new building construction buying, charge master updates, cycle inventories, and much, much more.
This list doesn’t even factor in the time that is needed for you to deal with those unplanned emergencies, foul –ups that need to be fixed, endless meetings you need to attend, reports you must write and sales reps you are required to meet just to get your job done.
"Six Sigma is arguably the most important business and industry initiative that has involved statistical thinking and methods."
