1 – Our company is stuck at the
intersection of operating margin
and inventory turns
2. Sales and Finance don’t
understand the complexity of
the supply chain
Manage Costs Like a Decathlete
The Efficient Supply Chain is the
Most Effective
3 – In our company
functional goals overpower
corporate objectives
Alignment
4 – In our company we are too
reliant on historical best
practices
5 – In our company we lack a
balanced set of metrics and
targets
The Effective Frontier
Correlations to Market Capitalization
6. The last question … what’s
your advice to the companies
that want to improve on the
metrics that matter (max 5
words)
Retail: Operating Margin vs. Inventory Turns
(2006 – 2015)
Dow & DuPont
Key Takeways
• develop understanding of supply chain as a
complex system
• ensure functional goals are complemented with
company wide goals and incentives
• adopt forward thinking supply chain practices such
as outside-in
• set targets for a portfolio of metrics that matter
• all this will drive improvement on both operating
margin and inventory turns
