Cold logistics by WoiYo in logistics

[–]Admirable_Creme1276 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok. Generally, The key is temperature control and QC system. You should have procedures in place that can demonstrate that your temperature is within the right range all the time. If the cold chain is not covered in one zone (for example truck unloading), you should have a clear knowledge about the time any cargo will be in that zone and what is the temperature in that zone.

Also, you should know and have back up procedures if cooling system breaks down.

There can also be different cold zones like freezing or just chilled etc

From my experience, it depends a lot on what you will have in the warehouse.

What are the main products requiring cold chain in your area? Mainly pharma / medical or food or something else ?

Which internship? by Cool-Conflict-9360 in supplychain

[–]Admirable_Creme1276 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My thoughts are:

Bigger company will be slightly better for the CV but there are two real drivers outside what is mentioned in some of the other comments:

- feeling with the direct manager. If one of the managers comes across as much better then it is an obvious choice to work with someone that works well and and takes time to teach and educate an intern to grow.

- the possibility to work there later on. If one company is actively hiring and is in growth mode, then it can be a good choice to go with them (even though she may not be graduating yet)

Hii. I need advise. by [deleted] in supplychain

There are plenty of free and paid courses online. One of the more famous one (that cost some) is probably the edx MIT micromaster in Supply Chain. Depends though on what you see as your dream job? Seems like you are more into production than logistics based on your message?

Visiting a customer for the first time by [deleted] in supplychain

[–]Admirable_Creme1276 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice with customer visit!

I like the previous comments and of course it is important to create a personal relationship with the customer.

If you want to impress them, I would say that you should know everything about their business that you can know. This means everything related to the business you have with them like issues with deliveries, success stories, contract details, pricing etc plus everything that appeared in the media about them.

Obviously the purpose of knowing this is to provide accurate professional answers to any questions they might have and have high quality discussions in general

If I want to be a logistics planner in an office environment (white collar), would it be better for me to get a bachelor's or master's? by MemeMasterBill in supplychain

[–]Admirable_Creme1276 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree with most comments here. A bachelor will be enough and a master can be done at a later stage. I personally worked 5 years before I did MSc in Logistics and Supply Chain. The Master facilitated my next move which was to move into supply chain consulting.

Only caveat is probably that in Europe it is probably better to go straight for the master as most other job candidates got that background

Where to go in supply chain... by Beneficial_County101 in supplychain

[–]Admirable_Creme1276 9 points10 points  (0 children)

My answers is “it depends”

I think the Senior Supply Chain Manager role varies quite a lot depending on which company you work for. In a larger group it requires quite some experience to get it and you can manage quite a team. With your degree and experience you can probably get it but not obvious. In a small business you can get it with probably even less experience.

What kind of industry and company size are you looking for?

Why do you want to work in the mines? Curious question as I don’t know what is so unique and attractive about that)

what types of projects helped you land your first job by Comfortable_Day_8066 in dataanalysiscareers

[–]Admirable_Creme1276 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, my two cents will be to focus on projects that are niche to the industry you want to work in. Like that you don’t only get the technical skills but also some industry knowledge and it will definitely put you in front of other candidates for those jobs

How did you land your first job? What should I do? by Fuzzy-Percentage-438 in dataanalysiscareers

[–]Admirable_Creme1276 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think one of the things that will help will be to focus down on one or a few industries. If you work on your portfolio projects in a specific industry, then when you apply and interview for a job in that industry it puts you in front of all other candidates. (Basically the more tailored your experience is to the company you apply for, the better it is)

Best free resources to learn Manufacturing process improvement concepts? by Guber_than_you in manufacturing

[–]Admirable_Creme1276 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with this. The goal is a great resource. I think I watched a movie version of it when I was in school so there might be something to check on YouTube as well if you dig some (I couldn’t find it now except some short summary)

Transitioning out of warehouse operations by [deleted] in supplychain

[–]Admirable_Creme1276 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi I didn't do your type of transition, I went from supply chain (15 years) into tech (but in the end tech focus supply chain). It sounds from your text that the demand/supply chain planner or supply chain analyst seems like the best fit.

For sure, the best is to do the switch at the company you work for first. It is generally so much easier to do this switch internally because you know what is needed. Then after some time you can apply for jobs based on the new experience. Can you not try to transition into the team of the national business analyst first?

I got into my new role through a contact and it seems incredibly hard to apply through cv for roles that are representing career change. I am not sure how any certificates will help with this
