Real estate and supply chain decisions can significantly affect each other. Challenges arise since supply chain demands change rapidly, while real estate decisions require long lead times.

• How will what we do in the distribution facility affect our space needs?
• How will our employee needs change?
• Are there situations where location factors make a good logistics decision a bad business decision?
