"How Much is the Milk?" offers a practical roadmap to mitigate supply chain issues and improve operational efficiency

DALLAS, TX / ACCESSWIRE / December 1, 2021 / Ken Pinto, supply chain expert and owner of Dallas-based manufacturing representative agency Kenzai USA, today introduces "How Much is The Milk?," a guidebook for business leaders interested in lowering costs and in shortening build times across an industry challenged by pervasive supply chain issues.

With a combined 40 years of supply chain and purchasing experience gained while serving some of the nation's largest home building companies, Pinto has distilled his knowledge and lessons learned into proven tactics and actionable steps within an easy-to-follow playbook. The core of "How Much is The Milk?" focuses on people and relationships as the critical pieces necessary to streamline the supply chain, reduce costs and cycle times, and increase overall production.

"Anyone in supply chain management will benefit from having read this book regardless of their experience level," said Joshua Hutzler, vice president of Corporate Operations, Stanley Martin Homes.

Pinto's goal is to broadcast the tools he developed to help business leaders realize the importance of a smooth supply chain and how to bring it to life to fuel success, resulting in better margins for builders, more affordable homes, and reduced housing shortages caused by construction limitations.

Mike Lewis, co-founder of Creative Mines shared, "How much do you need and when do you need it? It seems a simple question, but the answer is complex. Ken Pinto's "How Much is the Milk?" is a fantastic guide to methods and efficiencies that result in on-time services, cost reduction, and a gratifying customer experience."
