The Recession's Impact on Supply Chain
Logipi's Dustin Mattison had the recent privilege of speaking with Joseph Francis about the recession's impact on supply chain management and innovation. In Joseph's experience, most companies reacted to the recession with a quick and heavy reduction of inventory as a means of decreasing working capital requirements. To accomplish that objective, companies focused on improving inventory management practices for better alignment with sales requirements.
