We Like Short Shorts

Didn't and don't we all, both now and in the day?  Bob Gaudio's 1958 mega-hit resonated with our hormonally-fueled fantasies, and he went on from his fifteen minutes of Royal Teens fame to decades of success with Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons.  In another venue, short shorts were the favored - the only - attire of basketball players in the day of the two-handed set shot and  a 16-team NCAA tournament.

Let me pose this question to you.  Would you suit up for a game today in short shorts?  Or, would you strap on a leather helmet for a football game?  Of course not.

So, why are you trying to do a 21st-century supply chain management job with thirty and forty-year old tools and concepts?  Why aren't you designing new kinds of shoes, and uniforms that facilitate movement, reduce weight, manage moisture, and improve safety to advance how the game is played?

Or, engineering new processes, applying new concepts, and leveraging technology to create effective and continuously improving supply chains?
