Regarding supply chain trade-off curves: trade-off, shmade-off…if you don’t like your current frontier, change it. That was the uplifting message from a keynote session delivered by Dr. Sean Willems at Logility’s Connections 2015 customer event.

Recently, I participated in a podcast with Lora Cecere where we discussed the following question: What would the supply chain of 2025 look like? Questions like this are always fun to consider.

Quarter-End Shipping Surges Impact Transportation Rates. Do month-end or quarter-end surges still affect your transportation costs? Well, you’re certainly not alone if you’re asking this age-old question! Those familiar with transportation know that month-end or quarter-end freight surges commonly occur, maybe in your company, or maybe in other organizations, and that your routing guide may not work as well as it usually does at those times.

Your customer wants to know when it is going to arrive. The consignee wants to know when it’s going to arrive. And above all, your Dispatcher wants to know when “it’s going to arrive?” You see, you are tied to a chain of interlocking pieces – of people, equipment and processes that comprises a ‘supply chain.’ A

There are so many things I could see that we can improve upon – our skating, puck handling, passing, our positioning on the ice. I have often wondered why so many coaches get so focused on the mistakes and get so frustrated in coaching their teams.
