New Logistics Blogs

Every once in a while I come across new logistics blogs that are worth noting and sharing with everyone. Here are a few written by supply chain and 3PL professionals that I've come across lately.

SCM Pulse
Great Suppy Chain Management blog written by Rick Ankrum an SCM professional with over 30 years of experience in procurement, supply chain management and strategic sourcing. This site features news, resources and commentary about supply chain management and logistics industries.

Riskape Supply Chain Management Blog
A blog designed to cover the issues of risk in the supply chain written by Rob Parrish of Tarratine Associates. A good resource for supply chain managers in their effort to mitigate risk in their global sourcing and supply chain efforts, this is definitely worth a look.

At Supply Chain Management
A supply chain management blog by Chris Abraham a SCM consultant based out of Green Bay, WI. The blog recently launched a new site design and provides in depth features on supply chain management and logistics trend analysis.

Here is my first list of Logistics Blogs

Logistics Directory Launches

A new logistics directory has recently been launched called Logistics Locator. Unlike this site which is more of a news/article based site, Logistics Locator is more along the lines of a traditional submission based directory for third party logistics and warehousing & distribution companies. The hope is to create a high quality source of 3PL, trucking, and logistics companies culled from submissions from logistics professionals and respected companies and organizations in the logistics industry.

For a limited time the site is offering free submissions to relevant, high quality sites who link back to the site.

Feel free to check it out at http://www.logisticslocator.com

Cutting costs out of the supply chain is one of the biggest challenges facing logistics professionals today.

3PLwire recently reported on a great article by Linda Taylor of Fedex Services on finding "hidden savings in your supply chain."
