Traveling this week for the first time with the new company. Introducing our platform and how we are different in an extremely competitive and diverse industry. Same face, different infrastructure. Customers want to know if we can provide not only sufficient capacity but have the ability to stay transparent with the willingness to be consistent in the quest to constantly evolve in an extremely unstable supply chain. Can we understand their operations and process, then align with it. Have accountability for mistakes and stay humble when the going is good. Then possessing the ability to provide our services at a price that's realistic. I love what I do, doesn't mean it's easy. Having hope and strong faith can go a long way, but only if you can keep it. I hope you all achieve whatever goals you set this week. Big or small. God bless... #NewBeginnings #IndustryDifferentiation #TransparentSupplyChain #CustomerAlignment

Happy 4th of July to my US network! As we all know, this time of the year can be a logistical nightmare. The national supply chain is hard at work, ensuring travelers and goods reach their destinations safely and on time. It can be tricky designing a system to accommodate large variances in activity. There’s a constant tradeoff between the cost of extra capacity during off-peak times and the opportunity presented by spikes in demand during peak times. Understanding these tradeoffs can make or break your business. There are so many cool techniques in operations research to address this class of problems. However, they all assume that the underlying data is collected & processed properly and is well-documented – something that is often not the case!
