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.

My New Car Exists

On April 16 I posted an article about the new BMW I had purchased after finally giving up on shipping my Mini Cooper to Europe from New York. When I purchased the car I was pleasently surprised to learn that on a regular basis I could inquire about the manufacturing status of my new ride. Last week it went into production, later in the week it was painted and as of today it's finished and ready for pick up.

I'll be picking it up myself at BMW Welt the automakers spiffy new manufacturing and customer center in Munich, Germanhy on May 30th. At the site I'll be given a tour on the manufacturing process and you can bet that I'll document the entire thing. So stay tuned.
