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.

The Dunder Mifflin Supply Chain

Well it's that time of the season when all of the sitcoms start to air new episodes. Not that I can watch them on TV here in Brno, but thanks to iTunes I can download them. Anyway, one of my personal favorite shows is The Office, which is about a fictional paper manufacturer called Dunder Mifflin. While I was clicking through the NBC website to find out when the new season starts I can across the clever marketing website for Dunder Mifflin and to my pleasant surprise they use a paper supply chain image on their homepage. While its very simple and ignores logistics it is still a good example of a basic supply chain.

So check out The Office it starts on September 27th on NBC for you Americans.
