"It's not enough to just survive any longer, businesses need to thrive," explains Lisa Anderson, President of LMA Consulting Group. "My research tells us that customers want products and services delivered immediately (24 hour turnaround is no longer sufficient) with a 24/7 viewpoint, increased levels of customization, and extra mile service. Manufacturers need to create a 'sweet spot' of people, processes, plans, profit drivers and priorities to create a customer service edge."
Anderson, also known as The Manufacturing ConnectorSM, is currently working on a book entitled "The Amazon Effect" detailing a business roadmap to thriving in an ultra-competitive marketplace. A regular content contributor in topics including supply chain, ERP and SIOP, she has been interviewed for articles in publications like Industry Week, tED Magazine and the Wall Street Journal.
