Supply Chain Quotes

• “Don’t be afraid to fail. Get out there and experiment and learn and fail and get a rate based on the experiences you have. Go for it and when you go for it you’ll learn what you’re capable of, what the potential is, where the opportunities are, but you can’t be afraid to fail because that’s when you learn.”  ~Michael Dell.
• “Smart factory automation brings an entire set of new capabilities to supply chain.” ~Dave Waters
• “If you are going to do TPS (Toyota Production System) you must do it all the way.  You also need to change the way you think.  You need to change how you look at things.” ~Taiichi Ohno
• “If you look at the robotic devices that are coming into the restaurant industry — it’s cheaper to buy a $35,000 robotic arm than it is to hire an employee who’s inefficient making $15 an hour bagging French fries — it’s nonsense and it’s very destructive and it’s inflationary and it’s going to cause a job loss across this country like you’re not going to believe.” ~Ed Rensi
• “Execution is the ability to mesh strategy with reality, align people with goals, and achieve the promised results.” ~Larry Bossidy
• “You cannot be everything to everyone. If you decide to go north, you cannot go south at the same time.”  ~Jeroen De Flander
• “The first to fully integrate the following technologies will create a near autonomous supply chain: IoT, big data, blockchain, 3D printing, artificial intelligence, machine learning and deep learning.” ~EverythingSupplyChain.com.
• “Past supply chain automation efforts will pale in comparison to the automation coming with IoT and Artificial Intelligence.” ~Dave Waters.
