Ask yourself these questions:
1. Do you check if your Logistics Head in charge of your 1,000-sqm Warehouse or the Operations Manager of your 3-hectare National Distribution Center is an 8am-5pm man or a 24/7-On Call type of Line Manager?
2. Is your Logistics top honcho a Hands-on Manager or does he practice Management by Remote Control (meaning he just about delegates every critical function that he is responsible for)?
3. Can your Operations Manager or Supply Chain Head do the work of every keyman in his Warehouse Team (excepting manual labor and driving a tractor trailer)?
I have seen Warehouse supervisors who cannot do the job of their Checkers because they are not familiar with the company's SKUs, proper procedure in stripping container vans with imported goods, how to receive goods such as pasta that are fumigated while in-transit and other warehouse SOPs.
In the case of the fumigated vans, had the inexperienced Operations manager simply opened the fumigated van he could have put everybody's life in the immediate vicinity of the van doors in fatal condition.
If he opened a container van loaded with imported cotton bales without the presence of the appointed surveyor, he would have put into serious jeopardy any chance of his company making an Insurance Claim against the supplier.
4. Does your Logistics Head command the respect of his Warehouse Team or do they look at him with disdain? Can he rally the troops effectively at a time when the company needs its Christmas deliveries out ASAP?
5. Is your Operations Manager imaginative enough to think of innovative or avantgarde ways to solve a logistic problem or does he solely rely on standard procedures and technology ? Is his knowledge of Running a Logistics Facility solely from and by the BOOK or does he STREET-SMART Experience?
