Supply Chain Insights

Fulfillment centers often scale through incremental adjustments rather than structural redesign. Over time, variability increases, costs rise, and peak performance becomes unstable. Recognizing early warning signals allows organizations to re-engineer before inefficiencies compound and erode margins.

Automation promises efficiency and labor stability, but without structured optimization it often amplifies inefficiency. Mid-market operators must first stabilize workflows and quantify constraints before committing capital. The right sequence protects ROI and builds scalable operational architecture.
