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.
I love the infographic illustrating stats related to trade and Christmas. (BTW – this UPS infographic is also very cool: http://www.fastcompany.com/1704159/ups-infographic-of-the-day-the-green-supply-chain). Overall I am fascinated by logistics and supply chain management. Especially pre-consumption, primarily driven by a very strong segment of consumers focusing on a products origin as well as disposal. Kind of a cradle2cradel concept. Overall I believe that this segment in the market place ultimately will pusch the logistics providers to focus even more on greening of the supply chain. In effect, I also muse that social media will be the channel of communication, carrying the message forward. I blog about it at: http://blog.fringeembassy.com/ Thanks!

The increasing share of mobile shoppers is interesting. And i think our logistics is still not prepared for this transformation.
