Turnarounds in Customer Experience – the Real “Unicorn” the Editor

Joseph F Paris Jr

We all remember poor customer experience, and we are not afraid to share the poor experiences we have had with others – perhaps even going out of our way to share using social media as the medium for our opinions?  How many times have we read bad reviews on hotels or restaurants as compared to good reviews?  Furthermore, how many times have our decisions been influenced by reviews (both good and bad)?  The experiences shared by others we know, even by total strangers, have an enormous effect on our buying decisions.  The reality is not formed by marketing departments as much as they are formed by the opinions of others during the customer experience.  In business, as in life, our reputations precede us.

 

Partnership Development – The Route to Lean Supply Chain
By Mark Gregory 
Whilst few within supply chain would argue against the concept and its potential benefits, there are barriers. Research carried out across leading manufacturing companies within the U.S.A showed that whilst 90% considered themselves as lean, only 20% extended deployment beyond the shop floor.
So we ask:
What is the route to lean supply chain?

Safety-Stock Calculations Are Risky – Demand, Lead Time and Service Level
By Dave McPhetridge 
This is a big and touchy topic, I know. I intend only to begin a dialog, not present an exhaustive treatise. First, let me define what I mean by “safety stock,” or SS: Not the restrictive, MRP-specific adder to gross requirements, but the general concept of buffer inventory. SS, determined correctly and optimally, protects against random variations in demand and supply, up to a desired fill rate.

“Operational Excellence is a state of readiness that is attained as the efforts throughout the organization reach a state of alignment for achieving its strategies; and where the corporate culture is committed to the continuous and deliberate improvement of company performance AND the circumstances of those who work there – to pursue ‘
Operational Excellence by Design‘, and not by coincidence.”
