A story problem involving trains traveling between two cities in France…Story problems are always a good time and this one shows you how important it is to assess before acting if you want to have better service levels and impact. It boils down to understanding and managing your customers' expectations. (4:01-6:23)

Learn how creating disruption in your supply chain by focusing on older KPIs of equipment optimization is dangerous to your raw material supplies and may lead to creating an overload of inventory you might not need.
