Business, operations & supply chain

Moving from operating models to forecasting, inventory, fulfillment, and the way data supports the decisions behind each KPI.

The cheapest quoted route can cost more after handling, inventory, lead time, surcharges, and customs obligations are included.

Oil shocks, route disruption, and weaker demand need owners, switching thresholds, and priced alternatives, not only logistics alerts.

Why safety stock, service level, lead time, holding cost, and exception handling must sit beside the forecast metric.
