Today's corporate environment is changing. For business, the message is clear. The failure to identify and avoid the increasing threats and risks to a successful supply chain model will become more harmful as the markets become more competitive, unstable and mobile.

There are clearly competitive benefits to be gained by employers who take every step to ensure the stability, security and maximum efficiency of their supply chain model.

Even a correct decision is wrong when it was taken too late.
Lee Iacocca (CEO Chrysler-Father of the Mustang)
