Supply Chain and Logistics Quotes
- “If you don’t understand how to run an efficient operation, new machinery will just give you new problems of operation and maintenance. The sure way to increase productivity is to better administrate man and machine.” ~W. Edwards Deming
- “I can’t say it enough that learning how to learn is one of the greatest skills anyone can have.” ~Mark Cuban.
- “Many people think that Lean is about cutting heads, reducing the work force or cutting inventory. Lean is really a growth strategy. It is about gaining market share and being prepared to enter in or create new markets.” ~Ernie Smith
- “Supply Chain is like nature, it is all around us.” ~Dave Waters
- “Because of my wartime experience, I am insistent on the point that logistics know-how must be maintained, that logistic is second to nothing in importance in warfare, that logistic training must be widespread and thorough.” ~ADM Robert B. Carney, USN.
- “If you’re not willing to fail – and we are failing at some things – you’re going to go away. Retailers come and go. It’s really simple: If you’re not meeting the wants and needs of the customer, you’re done.” ~Doug McMillon, CEO of Walmart.
- “Self-driving vehicles, automatically choosing the most efficient route… Artificial Intelligence will dramatically improve logistics.” ~Dave Waters
- “Today, computing mainly automates things for you, but when we connect all these things, you can truly start assisting people in a more meaningful way.
