In order they are to optimize customer service (RightServe™), optimize inventory (RightStock™), optimize supply (RightBuys™), optimize transportation (RightTrips™), and optimize warehousing (RightHouse™). The five enablers of these initiatives we call the RightChain™ enablers.

These ten elements make up the outline for this book. | 21
