CTL Director Yossi Sheffi was quoted by The Associated Press on American dockworkers' strike and their attempt to minimize the impact of future automation.
You cannot bet against the march of technology,” said Yossi Sheffi, “You cannot ban automation, because it will creep up in other places.”
MIT CTL Director Yossi Sheffi was recently named the #1 Supply Chain Influencer by SupplyChainDigital.
Beyond academia, Dr. Sheffi has founded or co-founded five successful companies, including LogiCorp and Logistics.com. His consultancy with top enterprises cements him as the leading voice in shaping modern supply chain strategies and addressing emerging industry challenges.
Dr. Jarrod Goentzel, MIT Humanitarian Supply Chain Lab, and Principal Research Scientist at MIT Center for Transportation & Logistics, receives 2024 honor.
2024 report highlights five years of global progress, uncovering gaps in corporate sustainability goals, with Scope 3 emissions remaining a major hurdle for supply chains worldwide
CTL Director Yossi Sheffi was interviewed by Sourcing Journal about recent east coast port strikes and how the employees have more bargaining power due to recent precedents set by UPS and other organizations.
Experts from the Netherlands, Malaysia, USA and Uruguay spoke exclusively to MundoLogistica about the particularities and perspectives of a tomorrow that is already here.

MIT CTL Executive Director Chris Caplice was recently quoted in MIT Sloan School of Management's Ideas Made to Matter.
“AI is a moving target,” said Chris Caplice, the executive director of the MIT Center for Transportation & Logistics. “It’s not sitting still; it’s aspirational because what was considered AI 30 years ago — even 20 years ago — is not considered cutting-edge AI anymore. It’s always that thing that exceeds our grasp.”
Understanding the process and the resources required improves the ability to meet the project goals.

Companies can engage with academia on various levels through educational programs and the cross-sharing of knowledge. Another channel to engagement is research—the subject of this column.
AgeLab Director Joseph Coughlin was recently quoted in The Atlantic:
Loughborough University Joins Prestigious International Network to Advance Global Supply Chain and Logistics Innovation
CAMBRIDGE, MA, USA, and LOUGHBOROUGH, UK – The Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s Center for Transportation and Logistics (MIT CTL) and Loughborough University proudly announce the addition of the UK Supply Chain and Logistics Excellence (SCALE) Centre at Loughborough University
Humanitarian supply chains have unique characteristics that the private sector must understand
Executives have a lot of learning opportunities at their avail. Here’s how certifications fit into the picture.
In the constantly evolving world of supply chain management, the executive quest for new knowledge, qualifications, and skills never really ends. In this article by Contributing Editor Bridget McCrea, Eva Ponce, Director of Online Education at MIT’s Center for Transportation & Logistics, highlights a growing trend where employers increasingly prioritize certifications to formally upskill their workforces.
Many companies are turning to AI to help manage their data efforts, but dirty data leads to poor analysis
The increasing use of artificial intelligence and Generative AI in supply chain will not fix the primary problem that has existed since the dawn of time: data quality. The old saying, garbage in, garbage out, still applies to AI. But, paraphrasing the words of Yossi Sheffi, director of MIT’s Master of Supply Chain Management degree and a leading voice in supply chain: All AI is doing is allowing us to fail faster.
Loughborough University has partnered with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s Center for Transportation and Logistics (MIT CTL) to be the first UK member of its Global Supply Chain and Logistics Excellence (SCALE) Network.
The union will offer an exclusive Master’s degree program for hundreds of students each year, with time divided between both Loughborough and Massachusetts, in the United States.
The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Center for Transportation & Logistics (CTL)has commissioned a new research lab to investigate high-impact applications of new data-driven technologies in the logistics industry. The formation of the lab was supported by seed funding from the intralogistics group Mecalux. Specifically, the Intelligent Logistics Systems Labat MIT CTL will explore the potential of machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) to transform the future of logistics operations and goods transportation.
Lab to serve as the foundation for future research collaboration between MIT CTL and Mecalux.

Research shows that large-scale supply chain disruptions often don’t derail sustainability efforts.
On the 30th anniversary of Amazon’s founding, Selene Silvestri, a research scientist with MIT’s Center for Transportation and Logistics, joins The Pulse’s Liz Tung to discuss how the company developed its supply chain. “They needed to ensure that items were available, that they could deliver promptly,” Silvestri explains. “They also needed to start having their own warehouses. And they had to do so with two things in mind. They needed these to be cost efficient and they needed also to have these warehouses in locations that would allow them to ship fast.”
The lab addresses logistics issues through advanced predictive capabilities, autonomous delivery, and automation.
The Massachusetts Institute of Technology Center for Transportation & Logistics (MIT CTL) has recently inaugurated the Intelligent Logistics Systems Lab, a new research facility supported by Mecalux. The goal of this lab is to investigate how machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) can revolutionise the logistics industry.
