Part 2:



And the Big Finish:

Much better than their messages pushing offshoring and overseas suppliers... expedited with overnight global shipping.

I just hope corporate executives aren't having their sourcing decisions and supply chain strategies influenced by stuff like this.

You can make your own whiteboard ad and email it to me at markgbox-lean@yahoo.com by visiting ups.com/whiteboard.
