A
Recovery Plan for Freight
When disaster strikes an early
casualty is often the freight
transportation systems that
support businesses locally and
nationally, yet governments
have been slow to develop recovery
plans for these vital trade
links. MIT-CTL and the Washington
State DOT have created a resiliency
plan for freight that helps
restore economic vitality by
bringing transportation systems
back up to speed in the aftermath
of a disaster.

Extending
the RFID Vision
Judging the success of radio frequency
identification technology (RFID) solely
based on the projected ROI excludes
many other benefits of the technology.
Attendees at a symposium organized
jointly by the MIT Center for Transportation
& Logistics and the Stanford Global
Supply Chain Management Forum took
a broader view of RFID in the supply
chain.
New
Medicines for Healthcare
Healthcare lags behind other industries
in core supply chain capabilities
such as inventory visibility. The
MIT Efficient Healthcare Delivery
(MEHD) Group aims to narrow that divide
and discussed likely routes to more
efficient healthcare at a recent research
meeting.
20/20
Hindsight
About three years ago the Supply Chain
2020 research project was launched
by the MIT Center for Transportation
& Logistics to study the shape
of supply chains to come. Many of
the team's original projections are
now coming to pass.
