If only one entity of a taxonomic group evolves – we may call development as an anomaly. Therefore, an evolution relates Read more…

Collaboration in logistics and supply chain management

We all are on a path of evolution. We evolve, systems evolve, technology evolves… everything evolves. We were discussing in supply chain management, how cost can be reduced, how inventory is managed and how transport can be efficiently managed.

Resources are pooled and thus efficiencies are improved by collective transportation. Our professor suggested to us that until two Read more…
