Now that you can see the results of your hard work . . . setting up your own business, building your brand and growing your bottom line, do you sometimes feel like supply chain and order fulfillment needs are running the show? Do you spend excessive time and labor trying to get your ducks in a row instead of focusing on expanding your line to include other products, services or features?
When successful businesses outgrow their space, business owners are faced with growing pains, revolving around renting or buying storage space, hiring and training supply chain staff and squandering their talent pool on managing your increasing business. In a perfect world, business plans include infrastructures that support growth and scale upwards as you grow or downwards in off-seasons.
But who can totally predict consumer actions, allowing for adjustments as your business expands? Then there are other considerations, such as updating your technology for more accurate inventory controls and purchasing new equipment to improve your packing operations. It’s always something. Lately, do you feel yourself coming down with a case of What now? or How do we handle this?
