Dean H. Stanton · Role Profile

Supply Chain Leadership & Operating Analysis

For supply-chain problems where cost, continuity, quality, inventory, fulfillment, systems, and customer performance move together.

Why this record may be relevant

Operating fit before job-title fit.

My supply-chain work has included sourcing, supplier integration, acquisition and transfer, inventory, warehouse execution, logistics, international fulfillment, continuity, and cost analysis.

I tend to treat supply decisions as operating-model decisions. A lower purchase price is not useful if it creates a quality, capacity, lead-time, working-capital, or customer-service problem somewhere else in the chain.
