Editor's Note: There will be no blog post next week. Most companies segment their supply chain by breaking it down according to operational and logistical metrics. That’s necessary for continuous improvement and operational excellence. But there is another way to segment supply chains that begins with the customer.

The concept of a network of networks – a network that rides on top of other networks and leverages those other network’s data – has been in existence for a while. ARC prefers the term “supply chain operating network,” which we have been writing about since 2003.

What Are Incoterms Global shipping and trade can present language barrier challenges in contracts and terminology. In 1936, the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) developed Incoterms, an established and internationally accepted set of rules in contracts for the sale and shipping of goods across the world 1.

I attended the Gartner conference in Phoenix and heard from many speakers and analysts. The key theme at the conference was that of a bimodal supply chain. For those who did not attend, this phrase might not mean much. In this post, I will try to explain this phrase. In simple terms, the talk seemed to be that there are two modes of doing business.

Food shippers have grown increasingly reliant on supply chain logistics IT solutions over the last decade and for a number of reasons.

Working capital reduction is something which companies often overlook until tough financial times threaten solvency. When those times arrive, working capital reduction efforts are often frantic and centred on formal or informal extension of payment terms, squeezing customers to pay early and cutting back on inbound inventory orders. None of those actions are sustainable over the long term though, and the companies that employ them often revert to the status quo if they manage to weather the econ
