The city of Philadelphia is eerily quiet this morning. On the door of my favorite coffee shop is a closed sign. There is no traffic on the streets. Only armed guards with dogs stand on the corners: strategically posted behind 8 foot barricades. Why? The City of Brotherly Love is preparing to welcome the Pope. I live in city-center Philadelphia. Today, the word security has a different meaning.

by Alexa Cheater Meet the Jetsons! Like any well-rounded child of the 80s, I grew up watching Saturday morning cartoons. Admittedly the futuristic family sitcom The Jetsons , which actually first aired in the 60s, wasn’t top of my list like He-Man or Captain Planet , but there was something fascinating about the whimsical and almost unimaginable gadgets and gizmos they featured.

Yesterday morning, I was sick. In the early morning, in a hotel room in Antwerp, I crawled to the bathroom and groaned as my body expunged what I think was food poisoning. The body is amazingly efficient in getting rid of what is making you sick. Feeling very green, I stumbled through the airport and found my way to my seat on the plane from Brussels to Philadelphia. <The joys of international travel.> While I wanted nothing more than to close my eyes and sleep, the stewardess came down

Over the last ten years, supply chain risk management has certainly grown in importance. And it continues to grow in importance. Research (Travelers Business Risk Index) shows that in 2014, 22% of manufacturers surveyed reported they did not worry about supply chain issues; in 2015, only 9% reported this. The 2015 results are based on a survey of 1,200 business decision makers.

The real benefit of the cloud isn’t so much about its features and functions, but its business networks and related communities.

I chose “Revisiting Supply Chain Planning” as the title for this blog post because I believe the phrase captures both the current focus of my research agenda (what I am doing) and the heightened priority SCP has taken on the agenda of many supply chain executives (what practitioners are doing).

With all the media hype in supply chain, the casual observer might easily think that within the next decade companies will all have perfectly optimised, data-driven supply chains and labour forces overtaken by robots, sensors and drones. This was certainly the picture that Gartner’s top supply chain guru Michael Burkett painted when he keynoted the research firm’s annual Supply Chain Conference in London, held 23-24 September 2015.

Months after the West Coast port strikes have ended, Los Angeles and Long Beach are finally picking up speed. But retailers are still recovering, and it could hurt their holiday preparations.

Being a huge baseball fan, I was sad to hear about the passing of baseball great, Yogi Berra. Yogi Berra was an 18-time All-Star and appeared in 14 World Series as a member of the Yankees, winning 10 of them. Berra’s contributions to MLB history are legendary, but he might be even more famous for his numerous expressions and turns of phrase that often didn’t make logical sense but still rang true.

Shippers and logistics service providers are pressured to match the “Amazon effect” for fast and efficient service across multiple B2C, B2B, and D2C channels. Perfect order delivery - on-time and in-full at the lowest possible cost – is critical. However, recent surveys of supply chain stakeholders reveal that many don't have the technology necessary to achieve it.

That is why it was with great sadness that we marked the passing of Yogi Berra, who, like the Yankees and like UltraShipTMS, grew to be more than just a player, a ball club or a TMS provider.
