Supply Chains Rock

APRIL 16, 2012

'Who said supply chains are boring? Whenever I tell a friend, colleague or family member about my job as soon as the words "supply chain" are muttered I immediately see glassy eyes followed by a yawn or two. Little do they realize that every time they discard or recycle a carton of milk they are completing the end of the supply chain cycle. Without supply chains consumers would be stuck using products that they had to make or grow with their own two hands.

Why are phrases such as “especially in the current economy” so in vogue in everything from analyst research to white papers and presentations? The phrase has become part of our lexicon, but that baffles me because we’re not just in the ‘current economy’—we are moving forward in an ever-changing, global economy. The phrase tries to highjack the inherent urgency the macro-economic news creates.

'Hewlett-Packard is trying to figure out what happened as the technology giant warned customers that some of the HP ProCurve switches shipped last year contained malware-laden flash cards. While the malware couldn’t do anything to the 10 Gbps-capable line of LAN switches, if the customer ever decided to re-use the card and insert it into a computer, that computer would likely be compromised.
