Target, infamously, has had problems with its supply chains in past years, while its move into Canada was beset with problems. Now, however, a year after he started the job, former supply chain executive for Amazon Arthur Valdez has been setting about transforming Target, where he is now chief supply chain and logistics officer. The retailer is overhauling its warehouse network to ensure speed, efficiency and accuracy, according to this StarTribune article. The idea is to help Target deliver smaller shipments quickly and reduce out-of-stock items. Target may be late in coming to the party, but a fast and adaptable supply chain will be a “game-changer,” it said. Amazon is not so keen – and sued Mr Valdez for allegedly violating a non-compete clause when he left to join Target.
