Meet part of the #SOFWeek2024 logistics team. Logistics is often done behind the scenes. It’s easy to identify a logistics problem, but difficult to appreciate the effort behind coordinating logistics solutions. I appreciate Mark Moyer for coordinating much of the transportation support in the Tampa area for SOF Week. I appreciate Ashley Selfridge for managing the assignment of hundreds of hotel rooms for SOF Week attendees. #socom #logistics #transportation #tampa #pmp

A big “Thank you” to all that attended today’s session. We had a great turnout. The goal is to equip warehouse leaders with detailed and valuable information they can use in their automation journey. If you missed it, please reach out to myself or Trew to learn more about how you can effectively calculate the pick rates your operation will be able to sustain in a goods-to-person solution. “Having conversations that aren’t being had about warehouse automation.”

👀What do you see? —> I see #logistics. —> This was recently at Port Tampa Bay. —> A steady flow of trucks were offloaded on the pier. —> A logistician forecasted the demand for food and supplies. —> A logistician purchased those items. —> A logistician coordinated with the supplier and transportation company for the delivery. —> A logistics team coordinated the delivery for a specific timeframe. —> This was a no-fail task. The ship had to be resupplied prior to setting sail. —> Was my family as interested as me when thinking about the work that goes into resuppling the ship? —> Hah, not really. #scm #supplychainmanagement #transportation #logisticsisfun #tampa #pmp

HAPPY NATIONAL SUPPLY CHAIN DAY "Every Link...Matters" National Supply Chain Day emphasizes our dependence on this industry. The central tagline of the observation is “Every link in the supply chain matters,” which conveys the importance of multiple channels and workers at all levels of the supply chain who keep the goods moving. The word ‘link’ also signifies the underlying importance of our interconnected and interlinked world. A missing link in a supply chain can hamper the entire operation and jeopardize businesses across the world, which later impacts all of us.
