Developing an effective supply chain strategy and then setting it in action is not an easy endeavor by any means. All links in the chain pull you in different directions, unless you have the tools to look at things holistically. Business unit and functional managers, each with their own experiences and incentive systems, implement practices that may be best for them but sub-optimize the overall corporation.
