The faculty at the Barton School of Business at Wichita State University is conducting a survey to better understand how companies are leveraging information technology and operations best practices to improve their supply chain performance. The study will also help companies understand agility (arguably the next major focus in industry) in the supply chain and how their company compares to others in the same industry.

I would really like to see our organization (even our out of town readers) support this very worthy cause. You can take the survey at http://webs.wichita.edu/shelm/ks/agilityL/ . It took me 12 minutes and they will be happy to email you the results once all the data is collected, so you can use it with your own company.

Please remember the new location for the PDM in December is Yia Yia’s. We have often heard from other chapters that changing long standing locations can be detrimental to attendance and we definitely want you there. Have a Happy Thanksgiving!
