Flooding and iPhone - This Week in Supply Chain Management (36+37 / 2012)

Let’s see if this new-biweekly publication pattern pays off. I think at lease the last two weeks produced some very interesting articles.




Automation and Amazon Prime - This Week in Supply Chain Management (35 / 2012)

Finally, the dissertation is complete. Last week I finished working on the comments and handed in the final work. The process now consists of three more steps that can take another three to four month: First, I have to do a (really) short presentation of my thesis topic. Second, I have to wait for two written evaluations by two professors of the university. Last, I have to defend my thesis, hopefully some time around December.

Wind Supply - This Week in Supply Chain Management (34 / 2012)

This week I am busy including the feedback I received from my professor on my dissertation. Looks very promising. After a few days now I am already done and so I have time to prepare some related documents to boost the further graduation process.
Articles are few this week, but if you are interested have a look at the following:

Insourcing - This Week in Supply Chain Management (33 / 2012)

I found one article this week, which I can commend.

Risks at Renault - This Week in Supply Chain Management (31 / 2012)

The kayak tour last weekend was great. We had good weather and a lot of fun. Even though our boat lost in every speed competition.
Afterwards we spent a night in Berlin, where I had the chance to eat dim sum (chinese dumplings) again at Yumcha. They remind me a lot of my semester in Hong Kong. Especially the Siu Mai.

Disease - This Week in Supply Chain Management (30 / 2012)

Another week has gone by and I am looking forward to my next vacation. This time will be only a prolonged weekend, which I will spend at the Mecklenburg Lake District. Germany’s largest coherent lake and canal region.
We are going to explore a small section of it on our four day kayak tour.


All of the articles I recommend reading this week are already on my tweet list:

Apple's Risk Management - This Week in Supply Chain Management (29 / 2012)

This week there is one article and one conference I would like point out.

Supply Chain Risk Drivers - This Week in Supply Chain Management (28 / 2012)

This week is we keep it short and simple. I found a nice online textbook on The Geography of Transport Systems at the Hofstra University (NY).

Currency Risks - This Week in Supply Chain Management (26+27 / 2012)

I used the last two weeks to do a short bike trip, visiting my in-laws. From northern Germany (Bremen) to the middle (Fulda): 455km in three and a half days. My route contained virtually no ascents (beside the last 10km), but the distance was still quite demanding.
So last weekend was mostly about recovery and I have the pleasure to read through all the articles from the last two weeks. The best of which are listed below.
