Complexity destroys profitability…And ROIC, cash flow, on-time delivery, lead time, inventory levels, and all your other KPI’s.

In this recording, two manufacturing-Presidents-turned-advisors expose the horrors of complexity—and what you can do about it. From witnessing excess inventory rot on factory shelves to OTD falling below 70%, they’ve seen—and fixed—it all.

Strategex’s Marc Fooksman and Mary Kate Phillips share jaw-dropping examples of systemic complexity and strategies for holistic simplification.
