SUPPLY CHAIN LOGISTICS
Up until the last decade, the warehouse was the Cinderella of retailing. It was the place where top management put the least able and charismatic. Today, we are more enlightened, because the science of supply chain management has shown that logistics and the warehouse are a key element in the chain. As ‘tail-end Charlie’, they cannot be expected to sort out the problems created earlier in the supply chain.
It is now recognised that the whole supply chain from product development to retail allocation has to operate seamlessly. It also has to operate to a budget cost. Logistics and warehousing today are too important to be left to a warehouse manager.
