Supply Chain News - June 28, 2008

Like many other Supply Chain professionals, I have a few favorite websites bookmarked to stay updated on the latest news. This week, Supply Chain Digest has a great article "The Supply Chain Perfect Storm" describing several "fronts" that may be surprising or reafirming. http://www.scdigest.com/assets/FirstThoughts/08-06-26.php?cid=1772&ctype=content

  • How is the increase in the price of oil changing your world both professionally and personally?
  • Have you changed your driving habits including considering changing jobs, car pooling or telecommunting?
  • Has your company increased the price of products or services because of fuel costs? Have you thought of a fuel surcharge?

Remember starting July 1, 2008 the standard mileage rate increases from .505 to .585.
