Mid-market companies often must focus so tightly on delivering quality products and services to their customers that investing resources into analyzing and fixing what appear to be minor supply chain issues might not seem practical or even feasible. It’s true that each of these less obvious areas does not cause significant margin erosion on its own; however, many mid-market companies can suffer from a number of combinations of these issues. When evaluated in that context, the impact on profitability can be noteworthy.

This eBook explores hidden areas of supply chain operations that can eat into a mid-market company’s net margins. Identifying and addressing these supply chain issues has historically been a challenge as it required diverting resources and capital away from other critical areas.

Today’s combination of increasingly complex supply chain operations and the availability of more accessible/affordable technology means mid-market companies can and should take a deeper look into these areas as a means to maximize margins.
