Performance by Kevin McManus

To improve, don’t hold on  
These days, it’s becoming easier to rely on technology to improve human performance. But while I am getting deeper into exploring wearables, RFID and other asset optimization tools, industrial engineering basics remain a great foundation for improving and optimizing personal performance.

Analytics holds promise for healthcare

Supply Chain by Jim Tompkins

In golf vs. supply chain, one is changing rapidly
Talk about a contrast: I was fortunate to attend The Masters golf tournament and the MODEX show in Georgia this year. While The Masters has barely changed over its 86 years, Modex showcases an entirely new world of material handling automation, robotics, autonomous vehicles, internet of things, drones, etc.
