Supply Chain Movement

MARCH 11, 2015

That’s why supply chain management is such a popular field, with the Bureau of Labor Statistics estimating a 26-percent increase in logistics jobs by 2020. So, what do you do if you work in supply chains, but get transferred to another function or simply need a refresher on what’s new? Carey School of Business at Arizona State University offers a program for that. Companies are always interested in keeping costs down, minimizing risk and streamlining efficiency.

Women of the Supply Chain: Responsibility, Collaboration and Bathroom Lines. Hanging out with Kinaxis, the relatively small and always interesting supply chain vendor from Ottawa, Canada, never fails to be an eye-opening experience. So why are there so many women in supply chain roles? What is certainly true is that supply chain planning and management don’t lend themselves to absolute truths and command and control hierarchical management.

Now what does this have to do with managing a supply chain? There is so much supply chain related data that we have access to now and even better, we have automated solutions that recommend the best thing to do in a given situation on a given day. Perhaps an earlier low priority order can ship on time while a later high priority order will ship late due to constrained supply? Flip the switch back to Semi-Automatic to manage your supply chain?
