I realize the word "BASICS " is not very sexy. But it is a very important thing to understand. 

Many years ago Vince Lombardi led the Green Bay Packers football team to unprecedented success by having an almost obsessive focus on doing the BASICS very well. 

It’s amazing how many individuals and companies have great visions yet fail to achieve their full growth and earning potentials. They're a lot like the Green Bay Packer's football team before the arrival of Vince Lombardi... all the potential in the world but with no focus on executing the basics of their business.

The fact is, the basics of supply chain management... the things that serve as a solid foundation for growing and enduring success have not changed since before I was born... and won't change after you're dust.

It's tempting to think that they do... that the introduction of a new panacea like Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), Customer Relations Management, (CRM) and/or ISO 9000 can change the basics.

I understand the temptation.

I can only caution against it, and invite you --- urge you --- to be a serious student of manufacturing history and both the evolution and revolution in manufacturing.

Mastering the proven basics of what has worked in the past will give you the foundation needed to predict what will work today... and tomorrow!  

The first thing supply chain teams need to do is identify the basics that are requisites to change initiative success. Next, they need to provide a process for obtaining “top-to-bottom,” company commitment to the flawless execution of these basics. This commitment becomes a launching pad for achievements beyond all expectations.

The mastering of Bill's supply chain basics can help you and your company reach their full growth and earnings potentials. Best of all, work will become fun again.
