The article argues that cost overruns and underperformance in manufacturing logistics tech projects often stem from early, structural decisions—made during planning, design, and business-case framing—that don’t reveal their impact until late in execution. It identifies four recurring failure patterns, all rooted in these front-loaded choices.
Question: Which early-stage decision (planning assumptions, solution design, or business-case framing) has most impacted your logistics tech project’s outcome, and how do you catch these risks sooner?
