Center News - Food for Thought Logistics a key competitive advantage over next decade By: Manila Bulletin (via Yahoo News) Logistics will play a key role over the next 10 years providing companies important competitive advantages such as deliveries within a few hours on the day of ordering, flexible receiving and return times, as well as resilient logistics and value-added concepts in emerging countries. This is one of the key findings of the "Global E-Tailing 2025" study, initiated by Deutsche Post DHL with participation of the trend research institutions Z_punkt and See More, as well as numerous international experts from retail, logistics and academia. It is the first global scenario study on cross-border online commerce and its implications for the logistics industry. Read the full article here. Do procurement cards have a place in the modern supply chain? By: Procurement Leaders News Procurement cards are as popular as ever. While they serve a purpose — providing a relatively easy way to make low value, high volume purchases or for transacting with suppliers which only accept credit card payments — they are far from perfect. Their overriding benefit — to make small transactions relatively more convenient — is easily outweighed by the numerous new problems they add to any organization that uses them. Read the full article here. The future supply chain workforce: Can supply chain organizations balance their own demand and supply? By: The 21st Supply Chain Lori Smith writes, "The central theme of the Gartner Supply Chain Executive conference last week was all about supply chain leading the next decade. I too believe this to be the case — both out of necessity and because of the progressive evolution of the function. But a function doesn't lead, people do. So who are these people that will manage and contribute to supply chain management in the next decade?" Read the full article here.

Coming Soon --- New CSCMS Distance Learning Options Distance learning is a mode of delivering education and instruction, often on an individual basis, to students who are not physically present in a traditional setting such as a classroom. Distance learning provides "access to learning when the source of information and the learners are separated by time and distance, or both. Distance education courses that require a physical on-site presence for any reason (including taking examinations) are referred to as blended courses. The Center will introduce several distance learning courses in the fall of 2014 and spring of 2015. The initial courses will not be blended. These new options will provide Center students and others with new opportunities to enhance their professional skills in supply chain management and related areas. Look for more information in future newsletters and Center announcements.
