Focus Your Supply Chain Technology Investments to Reduce Risk and Maximize CompetitivenessLean, Six Sigma, and related approaches offer immense potential for improving competitiveness, cost, and customer experience-if you can overcome the challenges of planning and implementation.

Today, logistics alone accounts for more than 9.5% of U.S. Gross Domestic Product: over $1.3 trillion is spent on transportation, inventory, and related logistics activities. TV commercials even extol the virtues of logistics. But few managers or students fully understand the central role that supply chains now play in achieving and maintaining competitive advantage.
