Apple CEO Tim Cook had an impact on the company and the way it viewed operations when he was still in the interview process, as noted in a new book about his career.
"I remember when Steve [Jobs] was interviewing Tim because he was coming back and telling us amazing things about operations that he was clearly learning from his interviews with Tim," Greg Joswiak, Apple's vice president of product marketing, told Kahney."And so he was having literally an impact on us and some of the operational thinking that happened before he was hired."
"We were terrible at it," Joswiak said according to the book."Terrible at managing costs of it. Terrible at managing inventory. Terrible at managing billables." He also invested in an enterprise resource planning system that provided his team with data about the entire supply chain, giving them enough information to tweak production as needed on a daily basis.
