So I am back from my holiday in the South of France and once I go through my photos I will share some logistics insights with you.
This week I would like to shine some light on a great idea from a leading manufacturing and SCM magazine - Managing Automation. I've worked with this publication for many years and have been a long time subscriber. Now that I live in Europe receiving the hard copy of the magazine isn't really an option, so I recently opted to receive the free digital edition, which has the same look as the hard copy. While digital editions of magazines is nothing new, the fact that the magazine will donate $1,000 to the American Forests Organization for every 1,000 digital subscribers, is a fantastic idea. The magazine estimates that $1,000 will plant between 75 to 100 trees.
I would like to promote this to my blog readers to sign up for not only the magazine's worthy content but to also reach that $1000 mark. You can subscribe by clicking here.
Also check out the cover story from April on Boeing supply chain for the new 787 Dreamliner.
Great idea guys and bravo.
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. Still not excited, well visit often and eventually you will be.
