Military logistics operations face a volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous (VUCA) world. In this time of rising geopolitical tensions, supply chains are under continuous pressure. This is especially true for military supply chains that deliver the supplies and equipment needed for any mission
SCM Globe simulations for use by humanitarian organizations
We worked with the World Food Program to create an online logistics training platform for their logistics staff and staff at other organizations they work with on humanitarian and disaster response operations. Supply chain models can be built and simulated to support planning for real supply chains
Proof of concept project for the U.S. Defense Health Agency
SCM Globe participated in a proof of concept project for the U.S. Defense Health Agency. We added a logistics dimension to other virtual reality (VR) training simulations. Other VR training simulations simulated treating a wounded soldier at a point of injury (POI); or evacuating wounded soldiers by
Improving Supply Chain Performance
SCM Globe lets you quickly define any supply chain, run it in simulations, and see how well it works. You keep improving the design until you get the best performance. Follow these four steps - it will start to seem like second nature - you will start looking at all supply chains using these four
Map Based GUI on the SCM Globe Simulator
THE MAIN IDEA: All supply chains are composed of combinations of just four entities: Products; Facilities; Vehicles; and Routes. If icons for these entities are shown on a map-based graphical user interface (GUI), then is easy to create a very accurate model of any supply chain anywhere in the
Supply Chain Management Majors are Growing
Degree programs in supply chain management are growing in popularity. Because the business environment is constantly changing, the need for skilled supply chain management professionals grows with it. Take the coronavirus pandemic's global effect on supply chains as an example. This unexpected,
Winning Teams in Morocco Supply Chain Competition
Student teams from six engineering schools in Morocco competed last week in a supply chain competition loosely based on the supply chain of a real Moroccan company. The goal of the competition was to redesign and expand the company supply chain to best support its sales growth and
What is Military Supply Chain Management?
Military supply chain management is an integrated cross-functional approach to procuring, manufacturing and delivering goods and services for the armed forces. The U.S. Army provides this definition, "Military Logistics is the processes, resources, and systems involved in generating, transporting,
