by Alexa Cheater In honor of Star Wars Day (yes, that’s a semi-real thing), I thought I’d resurrect my Star Wars blog series. In this latest installment, I explore what the small, but mighty, Jedi Master Yoda can teach us about supply chain.

Packaging has been a source of frustration and the object of jokes ever since the days when you practically needed a Swiss Army knife and a jackhammer to open a new CD case.

Oh no, I picked the wrong line, again! Who doesn’t know that feeling of having chosen the slowest moving waiting line? Whether in the supermarket, in a self-service restaurant or when checking in at an airport, the feeling that you are in the slowest processing queue is all too familiar. You look to the right, you look to the left, you count the people in the queue and the number of items they have.

Reefer volumes rebounded in a big way last week, thanks to early harvests in California and late produce shipments from Florida. Other top states for produce are Texas and Georgia , and rates are trending up in the southern parts of both states. The darker states above have higher load-to-truck ratios, meaning there's less competition for freight in those states.

Road gators – pieces of truck tires left behind by truck tire blowouts – might be the most commonly sighted “wildlife” on US highways. Everyone has seen them lying by the side of the road, but they do real damage when they’re in the middle of the highway. On high speed limit interstates they can pose a serious risk, as drivers can’t see them until it’s too late.

Spot market volumes exploded last week on the top 100 van lanes, which has been the clearest sign yet of recovery for vans. National average rates didn’t respond , but rates in those top 100 lanes added about $1.50 per load. That’s a very small change, but it’s a beginning. Rates are trending up in the Southeast and some parts of California, but those increases are offset by sagging rates in the Northeast and the Midwest.

For 4 years I would get up every morning at 5:15am for work--then drive into the office to beat the morning rush so I could be at my desk by 6:30. It gave me a golden two hours so that I could check on my business in the East, get ready for my western groups, then go on to deal with the daily meetings and tasks that I had at head office.

Why measure the performance of a supply chain? Because a supply chain is increasingly the sole competitive differentiator for an enterprise, and measuring its performance helps to improve it and detect and solve any problems. However, traditional enterprise measures of performance do not work for supply chains. To paraphrase a saying, the road to supply chain hell is paved with good intentions and bad metrics.

“May the 4th be with you” My daughter shared that line with me during our morning car ride, it being her birthday and all, her ‘age of majority’ birthday in fact. She reminded me too that she is well within her rights as an ‘adult’, not having to listen to me or her mother anymore, mentioning that we can legally no longer tell her to eat all of her salmon at dinner like we did last night!
