I've noticed that new iPads, Apple TVs, and even accessories sometimes have different launch dates or stock availability depending on the region. It made me wonder how much of this is driven by logistics planning rather than manufacturing itself.
Do large technology companies work with an experienced supply chain consulting firm to optimize inventory, transportation, and global distribution, or is everything handled internally?
I'd love to hear from anyone who has experience in logistics, retail, or the tech industry. What role do external supply chain consultants play in helping companies like Apple improve product availability, reduce shipping delays, and manage demand across different markets?
