Are we doing enough to foster equity for women in supply chain? ⚖️ Despite meaningful progress, women in the industry still face barriers to advancement, underrepresentation in leadership, and limited access to critical roles like trucking. Gartner’s 2024 survey reveals that while 70% of organizations aim to increase women leaders, fewer than 30% hold management accountable for it. In this insightful article, Lisa Backlin, VP of Supply Chain at Parts Town Unlimited, explores both the strides made and the systemic gaps that remain—from mentorship and visibility to workplace conditions. It’s a timely reminder that building a more inclusive, diverse supply chain requires both strategic commitment and cultural change. 👉🏻 Read the full article: https://bit.ly/3EsIBNW #supplychain #logistics #womeninsupplychain

Why? Because they fail to address the root causes of cost creep embedded in behaviors and organizational structures. This insightful article highlights the four persistent cost challenges companies face—and offers a roadmap to overcome them. From improving P&L accountability to effectively capturing productivity gains, it provides practical strategies for driving long-term cost efficiency.
