Sustainability-
Meeting the Challenge of the Triple Bottom Line Businesses
facing increasing competition and challenges are
looking to the "triple bottom line" for a
competitive edge -- profit, impact on people and
impact on the environment. With that in
mind, the concept of "sustainability" has
entered the supply chain management arena as a
business practice with the idea to secure the future
for generations to come while doing today's business.

Logistics
of a Recall
A
rash of recent product recalls from spinach to toys has
many companies wondering just how difficult it is to
handle a recall. Handling a reverse logistics
operation, particularly in an "emergency
situation" requires an organized approach
throughout one's supply chain network. Creating
strategic advantage from a supply chain disruption
requires a company to understand the dependencies within
their supply chain, identify weak links and the risk
associated with each weak link.
