The Disaster in Japan is creating supply challenges all over the world. On Thursday, April 7, the MIT Center for Transportation and Logistics (CTL) provided a community briefing about the challenges. The focus of the discussion was on the following:
Corporate supply chains
- What are supply chains and why there is a problem?
- What can we expect as consumers in days to come?
- How should companies think about supply chain disruptions?
- What can companies do about this?
The humanitarian logistics challenge
- Why is it all about logistics?
- What are the issues in humanitarian efforts?
- What can we learn from past disasters (Indonesia, Haiti, Katrina)?
