Editor's Notes
- #2: When I was first asked to speak about a day in the life of a replenishment liaison, I panicked. I thought, “how in the world can I capture everything we might encounter in a day’s work and cram it into a 15-minute presentation?” We replenishment folks are pretty thorough, right? We focus on details. The thought of presenting an all-inclusive picture of our world was pretty overwhelming. For starters, one day is almost never the same as the next. And also, the scope of MY day might be very different than the scope of YOURS.
