Auto Sales Bursts Puts Suppliers in a Pickle
|
An automotive industry uptick that has seen new-vehicle sales get closer to pre-recession levels is posing a significant challenge to suppliers that make parts for those cars, trucks and SUVs.
Automotive manufacturing plants in Mississippi produce some of the most popular vehicle brands in the U.S., namely the Nissan Altima, built in Canton, and the Toyota Corolla, made in Blue Springs. At the same time, the industry's sales recovery has put automotive suppliers, already often running near full capacity, at a disadvantage to meet the increased demand, says J. Scot Sharland, executive director of the Detroit-based Automotive Industry Action Group. |
Supply Brings Teamwork to Deliver for Deployed Service Members
|
 The history of modern supply chain management dates back to the Napoleonic Wars, where military supply management changed from looting and requisition to regiments of military personnel dedicated to the supply and transport of military equipment. The significance of military supplies in wartime has been showcased in many wars to include the American Civil War. According to many historical accounts of Gen. Robert E. Lee's surrender including one by PBS, it is believed the surrender was largely due to the inability of Confederate logistics to keep the Army of Northern Virginia fed and resupplied during its final days.
