I’m pleased to announce Curtis Ying, Mike Liebson, and I have just published an article, “Case Study: Optimizing Delivery Scheduling at a Large Restaurant Chain,” in the Fall issue of the Journal of Business Forecasting at https://lnkd.in/gGEKxHDm Full text available at: https://lnkd.in/gPR8H5xw The article introduces a new approach to distribution center (DC) delivery scheduling, a novel concept we call Master Purchasing Receipt Scheduling (MPRS). The article details how an iconic American $10B+ quick-service restaurant chain uses MPRS to reduce DC bottlenecks, increase receiving efficiency, and eliminate hundreds of hours of planning time. #supplychainplanning #inboundlogistics #qsr

Is 2025 the year that WMS vendors invest in: - customer success - transparent pricing - self-paced onboarding This is focused on incumbents. The ones that have historically Relied on armies of consultants And opaque implementation practices. Because we've seen some upstarts Do this to help non-enterprise customers. And it's a matter of time Before they go upmarket Where they'll eat the lunch Of those that remain complacent. Give me your hot takes. Or tell me why I'm totally off-base. #wms #erp #software #technology #realtalk
