Sometimes it makes sense to have as few people involved so that there are no crossed wires or misunderstandings, but often it's more practical to have the people who specialize at a certain task lend their expertise to the matter. Supply chain management in manufacturing is by no means a simple process, but the United States is learning from past mistakes and they're poised to start playing a little catch-up in the m

A while back I wrote about how I thought executives in the trucking industry were getting dangerously close to collusion as they discussed capacity in the industry. My comments were around a concept of "signaling".

WFP/Mikael Gartner. The Goz Beida airstrip is a crucial link to the Dar Sila region, one of the most vulnerable areas in Chad , where it serves as the busiest regional destination of the United Nations Humanitarian Air Service (UNHAS) , managed by the World Food Programme (WFP).
