Supply Chain White Papers Sometimes, it's not what you know, it's who you -- sometimes it's not how smart you are, it's how smart you can appear to be -- and if you don't already know it all, then maybe you can start by just appearing to be smart, and hope the smarts will come in time. This site is a good place to start with general supply chain information. Lots of white papers, at the generalist level to bring right up to speed with the ideas, thoughts and lingo. What else do you need for career progression? (Well, maybe some sucking up won't hurt.) Interesting topics include:
  • Voice vs. Scan Technology
  • Creating a Trans-Pacific Supply Chain Strategy
  • ERP vs. SCE
  • E-Procurement
  • Leadership: A Missing Ingredient in Strategic Master Planning
  • WMS Implementation Not for the Impatient or the Faint of Heart
  • Achieving Logistics Excellence Through Supply Chain Synthesis
  • Supplier Certification: A Continuous Improvement Strategy
  • Managing an Efficient Dock Operation
  • Understanding the Warehouse Contingency Plan
  • Hazardous Materials Management
  • The Ins and Outs of Cycle Counting
  • The Economics of Order Picking
  • Competency Based Development
  • Crossdocking in the Future
    • The articles are easy to ready, starting with a half-page executive summary, and following with less than 20-pages for the most part. As well, there is a wide selection of relevant business and supply chain books, which you can order directly from the site, and quite a few articles published directly on the site.

    Civil disobedience is called for

    Image
    In an act of desperation, Tim DeCristopher chose civil disobedience to disrupt the bidding process that saw 149,000 acres of public land leased off to oil companies in Utah. The lease of the land to oil companies, to allow drilling, has been contested by many who wish to preserve the pristine land, located near Arches National Park, the White River, the greater Desolation Canyon region, Labyrinth Canyon, the benches east of Canyonlands National Park, Nine Mile Canyon, the Book Cliffs and the Deep Creek Mountains. It is one of the final sell-off by the dying Bush administration. DeCristopher showed at the auction, registered as a bidder, and started bidding -- and winning -- with no intention of purchasing or paying for the auctions he won. Way to go dude! You're a hero!
