This global study of more than 150 companies pointed to several key actions that best-in-class companies are taking to maximize the delivery of organizational value across their supply chain operations. It surveyed distribution center/supply chain leadership across multiple industries and countries, and was sponsored by C3 Solutions, Forte, Manhattan Associates and Vocollect.
The four imperatives survey respondents identified as top priorities were:
- Make the distribution center (DC)/warehouse more flexible and agile as business needs change
- Improve labor efficiency
- Improve visibility to warehouse activities and inventory and order status
- Improve throughput
