off-the-shelf with all line items completed by the customer's request
date
2 - All orders are filled with the greatest possible contribution to
profit
3 - Targeted customer service levels are high enough to increase your
market share
Of course it's not necessarily what you need to document, but how you achieve those distinctions. In this program, Ray Barger from Featured Analyst Firm, Gartner Inc. will highlight the strategic challenges which companies face building best in class distribution operations. John Helms, Vice President of Materials & Planning for The Hillman Group, will share how they overcame those challenges to become a best in class distribution organization.
