Many of us have been to
Brookfield Zoo as a visitor, but have you ever wondered how the Zoo operates?
We took a behind-the-scenes

how procurement, facility operations and veterinary services work together
to create a very positive customer experience.
Dealing
With Carrier Capacity Constraints
The issue of carrier capacity
seems to be a recurring theme for all involved in supply chain management.
This crunch seems to hit
at the same time each year. Over
the past few years, however, the issue of carrier capacity has become
an ongoing problem. Hours of Service, driver shortages and changes
in sourcing patterns have all fueled this issue.
