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. Still not excited, well visit often and eventually you will be.

Supply Chain of Blood

It's not too often that I link to articles, but when the New York Times features a cover story on supply chains, it's got to be something worth sharing. If you can handle reading about blood and pigs intestines, take a read of this article that tries to trace the supply chain of a medical drug that uses the intestines of pigs. Oink!
