Hendrith Vanlon Smith Jr.
“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.”
Hendrith Vanlon Smith Jr, CEO of Mayflower-Plymouth

“By eliminating over-production and long transport routes from the supply chain distribution system, it allows for more responsiveness.”
