Meet Brandon Phoenix

Brandon will be facilitating a Leadership Overview in Philadelphia, on Thursday, 4/10.

Opportunities to streamline are abundant in the supply chain. More than 60% of costs occur within the supply chain, versus the 10-15% of continuous improvement activities which typically occur in operations. This half-day event is intended for manufacturers interested in learning how to create a stronger base of manufacturing through Supply Chain Optimization.
