One Supply Chain Does Not Fit All

摘要

Material handlers are not just random faces in the supply chain crowd. I hope you won't think less of me when I admit something to you: I'm a total supply chain nerd. I'm not saying that just because I'm the editorial director of Penton's Supply Chain group, or because I've covered supply chain topics inside and out for the past couple of decades professionally. You see, even in my personal time away from the office, I'm still immersed in all things supply chain. While other dads might tell their kids stories about American legends like Paul Bunyan and John Henry, I used to tell my daughters bedtime tales of that great hero Jimmy Supplychain, who single-handedly saved an entire town by planning, sourcing, manufacturing, transporting and ultimately delivering medical supplies during the great blizzard of '89. They loved that story.
