Keeping it Flat: Different Approaches to Reducing Cost
A number of executives complain that it seems difficult to reduce cost, if not just keep it flat. Managers, on the other hand, say that they need to spend more because of ongoing increases in prices, wages, and utility rates, not to mention that a higher operating expense budget goes hand-in-hand with growing sales. 05/08/12

Assessing Supply Chain Risk
Last January, I wrote that supply chain risk would be at the forefront of firms' strategic plans in lieu of the disastrous disruptions of 2011. Indeed, firms have recovered remarkably. Factories in Thailand are catching up on backlogs of computer hardware orders. The Japanese economy is poised for a better-than-expected recovery from last year's disastrous earthquake, thanks in part to aggressive rebuilding efforts in hard-hit areas. 04/03/12

Lead Time Reduction: Improving the Customer's Service Experience
In 1982, AFG Industries entered the highly competitive flat glass product market. Flat glass in the United States at that time was dominated by conglomerates. AFG owned three float glass production lines that had to be running 24/7, 365 days a year. These lines could not be shut down outright because doing so would entail very costly restarts of the furnaces. 03/06/12

Reducing Total Supply Chain Cost
In his 2012 State of the Union speech, US President Barack Obama urged Congress to review tax rules governing companies with overseas operations. He pointed out that firms were getting more incentives for operating outside the US than within the country. This had to change if the US hoped to spur domestic employment and revive the economy. 01/07/12
