Brad Huff - Supply Chain Management

As businesses continue to emerge from the 2008 recession, especially mid-market manufacturing and distribution companies, they are faced with the very real need to upgrade their talent, processes and tools. The challenge most companies face is ‘where and when’. Prior to the recession, the concentration was on internally focused systems like ERPs and CRM. These types of systems were considered the primary lifeblood of the organisation. And while I would not discount their importance, there is another area of the business that has emerged as equally critical: supply chain operations.
