In this issue, we’re shining a spotlight on the rapidly-growing sportswear brand, On. Craig Jones, Chief Supply Chain Officer at On, has a long history of transformational excellence. We sat down with him to discuss the expertise he brought to On, and how the business has evolved.
On is a young company, founded in 2010, and has grown exponentially ever since. It has gained international attention and renown during the last 16 years, but swift growth can have unforeseen consequences. To make sure vital elements of the supply chain didn’t get overlooked with all the extra work and pressure upon it, Jones made sure to start by getting back to basics.
“After 30 years in the game, I would say I can walk around a warehouse and kind of smell where the problems and bottlenecks are,” Jones says. “A lot of it is just the basics of running a distribution centre with planning. If you think about planning, there are not many companies I know that have accurate forecasting, especially with the volatility of our environment today. So it’s important to be clear on who owns what and what needs to be done by whom. A lot of it is just about discipline without being over-the-top.”
