In response to the previous post...

I read an article today entitled "The Color of Your Warehouse Doesn't Matter." The article brought up several good points about companies' priorities now that the economy is no longer booming. It mainly talks about the fact that companies may want to focus more on key aspects of their distribution such as providing customers with the right products at the right time instead of following current fads such as making warehouses "green."

The author also makes a good point that because of the current economy many businesses will look into their warehousing and logistics operations and begin to cut down on waste. This is a good practice, but why does it take a declining economy for companies to try to improve their supply chains?
