When I first joined
CGT in 2003, I had never given a thought to how my favorite products "magically" appeared on store shelves. But five years, countless articles and conversations later, I have become more than just your average consumer. In fact, I'd like to think that I have an insider's perspective, allowing me to appreciate the hard work -- and some headaches -- that went into making sure that my brands are there for me when I need them. This month, I learned even more about the intricate workings of the supply chain as we collected best practices stories that cover a variety of supply chain topics. From a TMS-focused cover story with
Kraft Foods to
R.J. Reynolds' new product supply chain strategy to
Pepsi Bottling Group's production sourcing initiative and more, we hope that these stories help you to enhance your supply chain operations in some small or big way. Inside, you'll also find a redesigned Supply Chain Planning Chart, part of
CGT's new Technology Solutions Guide series, that can help you determine which solution providers may best fit your business needs.
