Jeff Ashcroft is a vocal consultant in the Supply Chain business and in reading his most recent newsletters and scanning his website, he is putting out some very interesting questions and challenges for leading edge companies. Although he highlights some of our own Blue Sky work in his most recent newsletter, Link: http://www.supplychainnetwork.com/, you can also find many thought provoking articles as well as the latest news in the industry.

I've had the pleasure of working with Jeff on several projects in the past including an early pilot program on RFid with a consortium of U.S. and Canadian companies, and more recently with a company wishing to seek a new level of integration between their suppliers of manufactured products and also the companies end customers. Once completed, a major step will be taken to reduce inventory in the Supply Chain and the related benefits such as storage space, out of date product and greater cash flow.
