"The best part is we won’t be starting from scratch. There already is a wealth of initiatives related to supply chain education under the auspices of the government, in partnership with the private sector ... It looks like all that we need to do is to harmonize these elements and truly push for stronger supply chain education, at all levels, in the country."

SCMAP supports the third Smart Supply Chain and Logistics Innovation Southeast Asia event, happening in Singapore on 23-24 October.

"I suppose what makes flashpoints like these unpredictable is, unlike COVID-19, there’s really no telling how individual actors may act. One observes that the system of international cooperation is starting to break down, with world leaders more keen to appeal to a domestic audience. Understandable, but implications are wider. One hopes cooler heads will prevail… but the next question is, if things do get even more complicated, are our supply chains ready?"

SCMAP welcomes its newest members who joined in the third quarter of 2024.

The sixth run of the Certificate Course on Enterprise Supply Chain Management, co-developed by SCMAP and the De La Salle University, kicks off on 12 October until 27 November.

"A common theme that emerged from the 22 people that spoke on stage during the conference is how our supply chains impact people – whether it be directly, like our customers or the people that work in the business, or indirectly, as is the case of those who live in the shadow of our work, like those affected the most by climate change, or those in the middle of geopolitical flashpoints. So how do we go beyond the extra mile? Think of the people."

Congratulations to the winners of the first ever Supply Chain Philippines Excellence Awards!
