The turnaround highlights both the organizational and operational issues that arose in reviving its distribution and logistics system and turning its supply chain operations into a distinct competitive advantage. Transforming a supply chain operation is equivalent to performing open heart surgery and the transition proved anything but smooth. This webinar will emphasize the importance of keeping communication lines open,…
