'I have traveled 12,000 miles this week. When I get off the plane, I am accosted by the signs at airports around the world. SAP touts “best-run companies” while the Accenture ads claim “ high-performance supply chains.” As I shuffle along, I am not sure. I shake my head. I am a nomad, searching for a good definition of supply chain excellence.

'Last week, I wrote about the evolution of supply chain planning. In my blog post, I commented on HOW little supply chain planning has changed in its twenty-year evolution. As I worked with clients this week, I had a long and hard talk with myself. I am part of the problem. I, like other analysts, are stuck in the traditional software APS paradigm.

'I spent the day in Washington DC listening to a variety of really intelligent people talk about transportation planning models. This may not sound like everybody’s idea of fun, but I found the discussion compelling and fascinating. The most interesting thing was observing the types of problems that people in Metropolitan Planning Organizations, as well as State planning organizations are addressing, and the types of data being employed in these very elegant planning models.

'As a rail freight company, you deal with huge uncertainty all the time. You know where and at what time your customer will load wagons. You have an estimate of where a wagon is heading. But you only get the exact destination at the last minute, shortly before departure. So your plans always require last minute changes. These short notice changes make efficient and effective wagon planning very hard.

'The Divide. How many times have you been pestered to do a survey in the past year? Month? Week? My guess is: plenty! As a professional, you are likely bombarded with survey requests, most of which you may ignore due to sheer volume!
