Hi, I'm Rory Kirton. Welcome to my profile!

Rory Kirton's Bio:

  Rory has spent over ten years in the Logistics and supply chain industry as a senior leader working with some of South Africa’s most successful companies. Rory is most known for his ability to build self-directed teams that cultivate the types of cultures that break down traditional barriers to engagement. Rory works with the employees to create environments and conditions that will allow individuals to align their strengths to the organisation’s vision so a more personalised, authentic and customised solutions approach to customer service is created.   In 2013, Rory joined RTT as General Manager, with the goal to foster an environment, conditions, and strategies to resolve issues through collaborative exchanges and deliver world class customer service to an industry riddled with mediocrity. Rory will develop client solutions which can help multiple stakeholders with different perspectives create a shared understanding and common language for navigating complex problems though “Intelligent Logistics” solutions from RTT.   Rory has been actively studying over the last 5 years and has a myriad of academic courses under his arm from GIBS Business school and is currently in his second year of his MBA degree through the University of Reading that will be complete in 2015.   So much technology and brain power has been applied to improve supply chains. Companies are able to capture customers’ voice by using sophisticated marketing tools. Their goal is the accurate and quick response to market demands. Mass customization, automated warehousing and agile manufacturing are the means leading to that goal. Despite these efforts, many supply chains have never been worse. Adversarial relationships with logistics partners as well as lack of coordination have lead, in many cases, to an unpredictable rise of cost to operations. The excess of one product and the shortage of another are a common symptom, as well as having the wrong product in the wrong place at the wrong time.   Why are companies unable to improve their supply chain performance? It’s the old adage of pay peanuts and you will get what you pay for. The selection of the right service provider is the key to successful supply chain strategies, your selection of a logistics expert that will partner with you, will assist with the optimisation of your operations, streamlining the flow of your products and ultimately improving your service to your customers.   Partner with RTT for Intelligent Logistics that work.   Feel Free to contact Rory at any time | [email protected] | +27 82 940 9100 |
