In this introductory podcast, I set the stage for our discussions to follow. These podcasts are intended to be a series of interviews with influential decision makers in various aspects of the supply chain. Some will be involved with

Episode 2 of Supply Chain Innovations Today. In this podcast, I interviewed Nigel Wood, the Director of Industry Relations, GS1 Canada & EPCglobal Canada. We talked about about the mission of GS1 and the role they play in providing standards for supply chain transactions.

For more information about GS1 Canada, visit their site. Be sure to let them know you heard about them from here, at SCToday.net.

In this interview, I talk with Joe Andraski, the President and CEO of VICS. Joe shares with us the history of VICS and some of their early successes as a "standards" organization, and also many of the challenges that VICS is taking on as they look to the future. As Joe mentions, the past successes of VICS has only "scratched the surface" and there is much more to come!

That includes more with Joe Andraski, as well. Look forward to future interviews with Mr Andraski, where he and I talk about collaborative commerce and Collaborative Planning, Forecasting and Replenishment (CPFR), GS1, RFID and EPC Global and the relationships between the business and the educational communities. All these interviews are coming in the next few months, so keep coming back!

Private Industry goes to the moon!

In this episode, I talk with Tom Taylor about his company, Lunar Transportation Systems. He shares with us some of his experiences in remote locations with extreme environments that he believes provide valuable experience by analogy to operations on the Moon. In addition, he shares with us why he believes there is a business case for going to the moon, and how it need not just be NASA.

Helium-3. Who knew?

If you find this concept of "space logistics" interesting, please, join us for discussions in the forums. And keep checking, because I have more interviews planned with people actively engaged in Space Logistics, including hopefully an interview with Dr DeWeck from MIT!

I presented my paper on Podcasting in Supply Chain Education. The paper received the "Teaching Innovation Award" for best paper in teaching innovations.
