Manufactures and Retailers have become more Risk adverse vis a vis
Inventory Management
Start Stop Logistics will increase weekly and daily Fluctuations
Visibility and Agility will improve but at a Cost
Both Customers and Service Providers will need to invest in additional
Resources for the Forecasting Process
The current Situation where Service Providers take most of the Risk is not
