Top Indicators You’re a True Supply Chain Professional 1. When you found out that you and your spouse were going to have twins, you patted yourself on the back for excellent shipment consolidation. 2. You place lunch orders with the same restaurant every day not because you love the food, but because you’ve benchmarked its shipping characteristics against competing restaurants and concluded it has the best delivery times. 3. You dressed up for Halloween as a cardboard box every year for a decade—except for that one (lonely) year you dressed up as a hazardous material. 4. You cried when the space shuttle program ended not because it was a huge step back for mankind, but because your dreams of using rocket ships as a mode of transportation in your lifetime had effectively been shattered. 5. You’ve considered using your carrier invoices as dunnage. 6. Every year at your company’s anniversary party, you get laughs by referring to the buffet as your company’s “latest and greatest distribution center.” 7. Your favorite movie is “Cast Away.” 8. On karaoke night, you just can’t resist changing the lyrics, “there’s no business like show business” to “there’s no business like logistics.” 9. You once calculated that if Santa lost 160 pounds, he could downsize his fleet by eliminating Donner and Blitzen and generate significant cost savings.
