With business conditions constantly changing, a sound supply chain distribution strategy is vital. An effective master plan for your distribution operations should align with corporate strategy. This plan provides a road map for driving down costs and creating a competitive advantage. A comprehensive supply chain distribution strategy should: identify pain points; pinpoint hidden opportunities and areas for improvement; address current demand; and provide the ability to respond with urgency to changing market conditions.
