Logistics & Supply Chain Management Consulting in Northern Kentucky
Logistics and supply chain management consulting firms provide operational advice and assistance to companies in areas such as inventory management, distribution infrastructure planning, and materials management and handling.
In recent years, growth in logistics and supply chain management consulting has been driven by the rise in e-commerce and the increasingly sprawling nature of global supply chains. In the years ahead, the sector is likely to be fueled by continued growth in online shopping and delivery, as well as a renewed emphasis on resiliency in the face of recent global supply chain bottlenecks.
