Extract from the interview with Thierry Roques, professor at KEDGE Business School, about his book “Optimisez votre chaîne logistique” (Optimize your supply chain):
Mots d’auteurs – What are the logistical constraints facing VSEs and SMEs, and how can this book help?
Thierry ROQUES (-) – In the same way as large companies, VSEs and SMEs need to ensure that their products are available in the right place, at the right time, and in the right quantity, in order to satisfy their customers’ needs […] Very often, not having the product available when the customer wants it means losing a sale or losing the customer for good […] This book aims to help managers better integrate logistics operations into their company’s activities, and turn them into a performance lever at the service of their strategy”.
