Under Control: How Control Is Created, Tested, and Lost in Logistics Operations (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798247446156)

Control is rarely lost all at once.

In logistics operations, performance often holds long after control has started to erode. Service levels remain green. Costs appear contained. Problems are absorbed quietly by capable people working harder, compensating for decisions made elsewhere.

Under Control is written for senior leaders, boards, private equity, and operations executives who want to understand why good operations drift into fragility - and why the warning signs are so often missed.

Drawing on decades of senior operational experience across complex, multi-country logistics environments, Tim Moran explores how control is really created and destroyed:

• why effort is mistaken for resilience

• how silence replaces honest escalation

• how systems look stable until they suddenly aren't

• and why pressure always surfaces first in operations

This is not a book about tools, frameworks, or best practice.
It is about judgement under pressure - and the organisational behaviours that determine whether control is sustained or quietly lost.

If you are responsible for performance but distant from the floor, this book will change how you interpret what you see.
