Inventory management is a key element of the supply chain. It is sometimes confused with other related processes and practices of the supply chain ecosystem. Inventory Management is the tracking of inventory from raw materials to manufacturers, to finished goods, to distributors, warehouses (wholesaler or retailer), and from these facilities to a point of sale (end customer). The goal of inventory management is to have the right products in the right place at the right time.
Companies worldwide have been affected by recent supply chain issues. From large factory shutdowns in China due to Covid-19, to recent port backups in Southern California, or the rising number of factory fires across the world, the increasingly globalized nature of our supply chains means that the potential number of risks and threats to our supply chains are greater than ever before. T Exponents has a risk assessment, management and mitigation approach to address organizational risk.

Mergers and acquisitions bring a lot of anticipation, expectations, and enthusiasm. While the idea of increased market share, a strengthened core business, expanded product lines, enhanced technologies, and reduced costs—drive the desire to find that perfect strategic partner, studies have shown that that over 80% of merger and acquisitions fail to achieve targeted expectations. So why are so few M&As successful?
In reality, this less-than-20% success rate does not mean that the mergers and acquisitions fail on paper. But it does mean that they don’t meet expectations, and the new entity does not function as it should. Are the expectations too high? What should we expect with a merger or acquisition? How do we improve the chances for success?
