Risk Software and Segmentation - This Week in Supply Chain Management (16 / 2012)

This item is already from 2009, but still very funny: Eric Cartman from South Park singing Poker Face (originally by Lady GaGa). And this is my way to end week 16 of 2012.
For me, this week was about consolidation of my certificates and credentials to prepare my curriculum vitae and other documents for my upcoming application phase.
I started my search this week for jobs focussing on the supply chain side of things. Jobs related to supply chain planning and SC risk management are top on my list, but the later seem to be quite rare (at least in Germany).
So, if you know about current job offerings in this area, you can contact me here.

Let’s have a look at my favorite supply chain related articles of the week.

Articles

• The Supply Chain Brain gives a sneak peek into the Supply Chain Risk Leadership Council founded by Cisco. (Supply Chain Brain)
• Danny Halim elaborates on the advantages of customer segmentation and highlights nine key elements. (Supply Chain Nation)
• For over a year now I wanted to do an article about software support for supply chain risk management. Since I did not get around to do it yet, I do not want to withhold this news item: AIR Worldwide issued a press release stating that they improved the support for supply chain risks in their risk modeling software. (AIR)
