SEASON FOUR: EPISODE ONE



SEASON FOUR

 "Is everything moving according to plan?" Supply chain managers in charge of procuring, shipping, storing, and managing those items find themselves fighting against the clock - constantly. Items deteriorate. Items are exposed to risk. Technologies purport to help manage both inventory and transit, help respond to customers, help increase transparency. Having the ability to "see" freight at any point along the supply chain empowers those business decision makers by helping respond to risk and manage costs. But, then, how much is too much? Do shippers, carriers, and warehousing businesses need to see all freight at all times? What are the costs associated with visibility? And how else might freight's decision makers shape their practices and set priority? This season of Road Signs focuses on our ability to see freight from all points along the supply chain.
