Another example of Hollywood using the supply chain for cinematic inspiration. While it contains a love story as well, "Outsourced", is about a Seattle-based US company that sends its customer fulfillment center to India leaving the manager of the center to go to India to train his replacements. While there are some funny bits and pieces to the story, it is a story that we hear about often. And its not a bad thing. Part of globalization is focused on this and it creates opportunity for all of us. For example, the main character Todd Anderson, could become a high paid consultant helping other companies shift their call centers to India.
And what better experience then doing it himself. Also, by employing, once unemployed people, in this case in India, the world economy grows, adding to the growing middle class.
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.
