Getting the Most Out of the Tools You Have
David Schneider says he isn't seeing innovation in the traditional sense. In other words, supply chain managers are not focusing on existing or new systems. Instead, as far as innovation goes, supply chain managers are focused on cost reduction. Where the innovation comes into play, according to Schneider, is in using the assets they already have to the fullest extent possible, and in making simple changes like rerouting runs and seeking out opportunities for collaboration. Some companies, he says, have invested in tools to help drive this better utilization of the fleet assets, but he isn't seeing as much economic spend in that area. "It’s mainly using the tools that you currently have and really pushing what you get out of ’em to the max," Schneider said.
