Shipping and Logistics Quotes

• “Leaders win through logistics. Vision, sure. Strategy, yes. But when you go to war, you need to have both toilet paper and bullets at the right place at the right time. In other words, you must win through superior logistics.”  ~Tom Peters
• “You won’t find it difficult to prove that battles, campaigns, and even wars have been won or lost primarily because of logistics” ~General Dwight. D. Eisenhower
• “The line between disorder and order lies in logistics…” ~Sun Tzu
• “I say an hour lost at a bottleneck is an hour out of the entire system. I say an hour saved at a non-bottleneck is worthless. Bottlenecks govern both throughput and inventory.” ~Eliyahu M. Goldratt, The Goal
• “Without logistics the world stops.” ~Dave Waters
• “All we are doing is looking at the time line, from the moment the customer gives us an order to the point when we collect the cash. And we are reducing the time line by reducing the non-value adding wastes.” ~Taiichi Ohno, father of the Toyota Production System
• “Eighty-five percent of the reasons for failure are deficiencies in the systems and process rather than the employee. The role of management is to change the process rather than badgering individuals to do better.” ~W. Edwards Deming
