it ’ s so dependent on business strategy and choice of differentiation ,” he explains . “ Because supply chains are complex systems in which optimisation across all angles is a true challenge – if even possible – you typically need to look into making several trade-offs : ‘ do you prefer to hold onto stock to maximise operational efficiencies or do you follow a lean , small batch approach ? Do you value service at additional supply chain cost ? How do we choose what we want our supply chain to look like ?’ That complexity was very interesting to me .”
