Identifying the Right Fit

His watch read 6:00 p.m., yet a glance through his office door revealed several of his staff members still hard at work. As the new supply chain manager for XYZ Corporation, Keith felt a deep sense of appreciation for the buyers/planners who were working such long hours to keep material flowing into the manufacturing plant. He knew that, as their leader, he must help them find ways to continue to support the needs of the business while reducing the amount of time spent in the office outside of regular business hours. rnThe next morning, a buzz filled the conference room as supply chain department employees took their seats for the weekly department meeting. Keith needed to communicate a long-range vision that would encourage the participants to take a different perspective on daily tasks. He spoke of the need to streamline processes, reduce waste, and work smarter-not harder-in the days to come.
