A new year will no doubt challenge many in our supply chain industry to up our game to new levels that we never thought possible.

All this on top of the new product requests, contract conversions, recall facilitation, and managing teams and projects. This year could be a daunting year if you don’t have some form of strategic plan with clear-cut goals and objectives.
