Imagine a world where automation comes together with technology to deliver products without human intervention. An order is placed by a consumer. 3D printers pickup the details and print the finished product. It’s then picked by robots from the shelves, packaged and placed into a self-driving truck. The trucks leave the facility, and drones are automatically dispatched from the truck to deliver products while moving.

We know instinctively, that the rejected party should move on and let it go.

Imagine you are making a big purchase, something that you need to think about a little bit – something like a house, car, vacation, or college. How will you make that decision?

Just do it is the Nike slogan that suggests that whatever it is we have to do, we should just get on with it. Oftentimes when we are doing sales work, we make the same mistakes or lose deals for similar reasons. We may even be aware of what we need to change and we tell ourselves, “Just do it.” But then we don’t. Or we do it but we don’t do it well.

In supply chain and logistics, there’s always a new problem to solve or a new opportunity to go after, which often involves some form of innovation — whether it’s a process innovation, a technology innovation, or both.

The number of humanitarian emergencies have growth largely during the last decade derived from natural disasters or conflicts developed by the human being. It is difficult not to think about the Haiti earthquake in 2010 and the Japan earthquake and tsunami in 2011. When a humanitarian crisis occurs, different humanitarian organizations, like ONGs and cooperation public agencies, work to supply affected locations with basic necessity items and helping in the reconstruction of the places.

Today I’m writing again about logistic processes with human beings, but this time it’s about living people. Why I write about it? Well, I have to go to the university by bus soon and I heard that it will be crowdy, but then I was thinking about my time in China and had to laugh.
