If you are reading this is because you have already read interesting things in this portal or because someone recommended it or because you are going to evaluate the content for the first time. But anyway, sometimes it is difficult to know if we are in front of an expert or, at least, in front of good recommendations.<\/p>\n

My recommendation: contrast what you read with your experience and do the exercise of validating the logic of what is proposed to you. One way is to verify \"effect-cause-effect\", as Dr. Goldratt used to say. That is, if we are told that an effect has a certain cause, we can predict that if that cause existed, another effect should also exist. This is also known in Theory of Constraints as \"predicted effect reservation\". Let's look at a recent example.<\/p>\n

I don't think I'm showing here an unknown portal, and it is a source of articles and very finished reports, such as the \"The Future of Commerce Trend Report 2022\u201d (download report<\/a>), que me recomendaron recientemente. Es un reporte de 140 p\u00e1ginas y en la 105 encuentro la segunda recomendaci\u00f3n para la cadena suministro: \u201cRedistribuya inventario m\u00e1s cerca de sus clientes\u201d, y en el detalle dice: <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Redistributing your inventory to locations closer to your customers reduces costs by keeping merchandise within shipping zones, allowing you to offer same-day or two-day shipments without incurring additional costs, and increases resilience to regional supply chain issues.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

If you have a retail business, consider converting stores into mini fulfillment centers. Converting a single retail store into a mini-fulfillment center has the potential to reduce last mile costs by more than 60%. These hybrid retail spaces are also an opportunity to offer curbside pickup and click-and-collect options.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Let's take it one step at a time. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

First statement: shipping (incurring a freight cost) to a location close to your customers would allow you to ship (another freight cost) within one or two days, but you say that without incurring additional costs.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Here there are assumptions that would have to be validated for this statement to be correct in both aspects: that it reduces cost and that it reduces time. The assumptions are:<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
