Cost of Green SC - This Week in Supply Chain Management (5 / 2012)

Submitted by Daniel Dumke on Fri, 2012-02-03 15:32

This week I draft-finished my second to last chapter of the dissertation. But I saved the best for last so beginning on Monday I will summarize the key results of my simulation study on disruptions in network design.
I still found the time to browse the web and these are the articles I found interesting this week.

Submitted by Daniel Dumke on Fri, 2012-01-27 16:43

With this article I’d like to wrap up the week for myself and share the most interesting articles I read in the last seven days. This week the World Economic Forum in Davos started, with more references to supply chain risk management tasks than I expected. So maybe there might be the start for a new emphasis on these risks also in the board rooms.

I just finished another chapter of my dissertation. Now, there are only two chapters left comprising the major parts of the work… so those can take some time to finish. But I am really looking forward to starting with this next part of the work.

The new blog design seems to be accepted quite well, at least nobody complained ;-).
But there is one objective measure of site performance: Since switching to Drupal and the new design the site speed should have increased by about one third. I hope you enjoy the new site, let me know if you have any comments or suggestions!

The number of daily visitor slowly declines, even the comment spam goes down. It seems that (at least for some parts of the world) the “quiet” time of the year has begun.
And for me this is a great moment to look back. The same time last year I just celebrated my first blog anniversary!

Submitted by Daniel Dumke on Fri, 2011-12-16 16:04

Week 50 in 2011 is nearly over. And in the spirit of the season also the news level seems to go down.
For the last weeks and month I use my spare time to create a new web site design to improve the readability and accessibility of the content on this page. But, I am sure you like surprises so I will not spoil it for you… Should be ready some time in January!
