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

THis is a good list, but missing, from my experience is a team of agents of change. there is an arkieva blog on this. source material is paper by John milne based on his leadership of a huge transformation at ibm md... that was successful. second, this is not a traditional IT project, but is often managed that way. gary sullivan defined successful as... user can not imagine life without the application. gary led one of the most successful and challenging transformations in the early 1980s taking a wafer fab from paper to real time data and advanced analytics. there are great lessons each year in the informs edelman competition. I am again part of the edelman committee, [email protected]. yes gary and John were both finalist. transformation is not for faint of heart. helpful to have veterans on the team with wins and losses
