After cutting ties with Kanye West, Adidas has suffered a huge operating loss of $650M due to unsold Yeezy products. It makes you wonder what could have been done differently in their #supplychain . Agility in #manufacturing to prevent excess and obsolete inventory is a key consideration of a well performing operation. Key questions I think manufacturers should consider are: How is my #software managing inventory visibility? How agile are my scheduling tools to respond to changing forecasts? Have I got the technology in place to shorten stock cycles by being able to manufacture smaller production runs? https://lnkd.in/gFyAKPaZ
