I had the opportunity in late August to spend some time with Tompkins International and their consortium members at a leadership forum in Nashville. The event coincided with my birthday so I was super motivated to learn and share with other Supply Chain professionals. The forum is very well put together with 15 facilitated sessions …

Hi! Egemen speaking. I am the new Business Analyst at Solvoyo. Yaay! September 1st was the first working day for me and on the very first day I have decided to share my observations with y’all. So many things happening and it’s very likely to experience something totally new every single day. I believe sharing these experiences …

So here we are a solid 4 months since my last post. I guess I have no excuses and attribute my absence to a high quality of life! Between the activities of an amazing international technology start-up company and full-time family fun the blog material has been in a holding pattern. Here are a few …

The complex world of omni-channel retailing has introduced a new realm of analytical challenges. I touched on this topic briefly after the San Diego RILA Conference and have had a few months to work on a variety of conceptual designs and modeling approaches. In this time I have confirmed that the commonality amongst omni-channel solutions …

I have used this space primarily to talk about the innovative application of advanced mathematical techniques and Operations Research methods to solve difficult business problems.

Good day from the ever-changing world of supply chain optimization. This was a big week with a quick update on the action at Modex and some excellent business news. Here’s a little context for the Modex show as it might be new to you as it was to me this year. Modex is a huge …

Not to take too much liberty with my grunge theme wrapped around state-of-the-art Operations Research analytical techniques, but when you think back about all the planning and scheming you have done (whatever the purpose…road trips, parties, beer recipes, supplier purchase order planning) there was always some “dude” who had the crazy idea that became the …

I had a few people ask me at Modex why Wayne’s wORld ignored proper use of capitalization and the “O” and “R” are bold. At first I was wondering if my passion wasn’t coming through in my words but then I thought maybe I need to work on this a little bit. In short my …
I remember when growing up my parents and teachers would tell me to get my head out of the clouds. I always thought it was because I’m pretty tall (6’3”, 1.9m for non-US readers or Jimmy Carter fans J). Turns out they were just telling me to focus in a nice way. Fortunately the concept …
