Knowledge Management Engineer GT Nexus
Position Summary:Position Summary:
The topic of supply chain management is complicated. While the basic tenet is straight forward and well understood -- get stuff from one place to another on time -- the discipline has grown over the years to become extremely intricate and extensively broad. A list of the related fields is a long one: demand planning, order management, transportation & logistics, trade compliance and warehouse management to name a few.
In parallel, technology in the business-to-business (B2B) arena has also become increasingly varied and specialized. Quite obviously there are entire collections of companies that are focused on using technology to automate various processes. Beneath that, there are even more sub-divisions of focus: databases, applications and connectivity come to mind for example.
Together, these two concepts -- supply chain and technology -- make for an amazingly extensive and difficult world to understand. Moreover, the rate of innovation and change in these fields add to the monumental task of keeping pace with related concepts and ideas as they morph over time.
