Until new technology comes along and makes your supply chain obsolete.

Technology can assist in moving product but it doesn't get a box of stuff delivered where it needs to be and on time. That takes people skilled in logistics not a bunch of whiners playing with their gameboys and not shutting up long enough to learn something.

grey_whiskers is right. I bet you are a mid thirties fellow who's boss is a twenty year old high school drop out and it is just eating you up. IF you have a job that is.

Um, I worked in a Walmart distribution warehouse while getting my day trading business off the ground. When I started it took 1500 people to do 60 cases per manhour. Within a few years we were doing 125 cases per manhour with 500 people after a retrofit with new tech. My buddy says they are approaching 150 with 400 people and getting ready to retrofit again. It is just about all computerized anymore with very little handling and that isn’t the most modern warehouse.

Technology has absolutely changed getting a box of stuff delivered on time and where it needs to be on time to the point where you don’t need alot of skill at all, and knowing your way around a gameboy might actually be beneficial.

The rest...well you keep blowing your smoke up your own butt.
