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.

    South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut -- This is one hilarious movie -- but boy is it rude. It's rude beyond the point of being offensive. The movie takes the good taste filter off and amuses with humour that simulate the juvenile in us. Every now and again though, that little kid in us needs to be amused -- and this movie will certainly do that. If you're offended by the movie, it's because the adult in you is watching.
