“In terms of systems design; ovals, circles and hexagons are more efficient than rectangles, squares and straight lines — Thats something to consider when designing supply chain systems.” BusinessGeometryMayflower PlymouthSupply ChainGeometries Author:Hendrith Vanlon Smith Jr, CEO of Mayflower-Plymouth
“In terms of systems design, shapes are important. Rectangles are not common in nature. That's probably because from a systems design perspective, rectangles often degrade efficiency instead of contributing to efficiency. Yet humans have designed an entire supply chain system based on rectangles, squares and straight lines. If we want to be more efficient, we should replace those rectangles, squares and straight lines with ovals, circles and hexagons. And maybe some other nature inspired geometries.” BusinessGeometrySupply ChainBusiness SystemsGeometries Author:Hendrith Vanlon Smith Jr, CEO of Mayflower-Plymouth
