Ralph Lauren Corp. will find out whether managing its own distribution operation at a key site will make a difference in its supply chain. The fashion retailer is moving from a North Carolina distribution center run by a unit of XPO Logistics Inc. to a sprawling new facility that Ralph Lauren will manage on its own, WSJ Logistics Report’s Robbie Whelan writes. The company says the shift has been planned for a long time, and it’s being coordinated with XPO. It comes as Ralph Lauren is girding for a weaker sales year and undertaking a close look at operations, including its inventory management. Supply-chain expert Kevin O’Marah says more retailers are looking at bringing distribution operations in-house as they try to get a better grip on the flow of goods through online sales channels and physical store fulfillment.
