management is to change the process rather
than badgering individuals to do better.”

process, you don’t know what you’re doing.”

delayed perfection.” – Mark Twain

chain can provide a true competitive
advantage.”- Yossi Sheffi

Strategy, yes. But when you go to war, you
need to have both toilet paper and bullets at
the right place at the right time. In other
words, you must win through superior
logistics.” ~ Tom Peters
“The amateurs discuss tactics. The
professionals discuss logistics.
- Napoleon Bonaparte
