What is the problem?
- What is distribution? and who is impacted by Distribution?
 - Step 1: Identify the system's constraint
 - Step 2: Decide how to exploit the system's constraint - Have the right inventory at the right place at the right time
 - Step 3: Subordinate everything else to the above decision
 - The distribution cloud
 - Examine the Assumptions
 
What is the solution?
- What to change to? Improve forecast, improvement replenishment time and improve reliability
 - Is accuracy of the forecast the same for every stage of the distribution system?
 - Replenishment time
 - From "push" to "pull"
 - GM Cadillac Real case
 - Operational measurements - Throughput Dollar Day (TDD) and Inventory Dollar Days (IDD)
 - Primary measurement: Throughput Dollar Day (TDD)
 - Secondary measurement: Inventory Dollar Days (IDD)
 - What is the impact?
 - Measurements for the components of a supply chain: Throughout
 - Supply chain composed of companies
 - Internal Supply Chain
