Kickoff


Chain Ink is a space intended as a one-stop shop for insight and thought provoking discussion centered around supply chain management. Purchasing, logistics, inventory control, will all be discussed as well as marketing and sales strategy. The world is flat again. Detroit, Dallas, Dubai, and New Delhi are all just a mouse-click away -or iPad touch- from each other and getting closer. The resulting supply chains are growing and becoming more complex.

We will explore the trends and technologies that got us here as well as the strategies that can keep us competitive in this environment. This blog will succeed in its mission if it gives one professional the license to see outside the box of traditional strategies and into the world of possibilities opened up by today's dynamic business environment. And if we can provide some entertainment along the way, there's really no better service one can provide for those chained to a cube wall obsessing over data like...well...this guy.
