Wholesale Distributors have been in the business of managing their inventories for years…even generations. Yet most appear to be satisfied with the typical 3 to 4-inventory turns a year. Why is this acceptable in an era where profits, cash flow, service levels and competitive advantage are such critical success factors? What's the change in thinking required?

Recent supply chain management developments have dramatically changed how wholesale distribution businesses can compete; your supply chain vs. your competitor's supply chain. Your supply chain can truly be a competitive advantage and a source of real business value...and yes, there is something in it for your suppliers too!.  This session will shed a different light on supply chain management, focused on continuous improvement and generating better outcomes in reducing total supply chain costs.
