The rough topics' plan

My most interested topic is RFID while I've noticed that it can improve and change the way we track products in the process through out the warehouse more easier but it's still skeptical by its price of processing. Well, it's just one of my plan. Here are what I thought of at the time I walked my plan of 100 miles in 2 months.

Questioning:
-Why RFID doesn't fit most businesses?
-Do '3PL/Outsource' really save cost instead of expanding production lines or just boost up automation on delivery process for the short term? benefiting or wasting?
-What system 'Kohl's' use on return policy without any proofs need? (no receipt, no time limitation, no tag, etc.--how it works?)
-What make TOYOTA famous for Supply Chain Management?

Digging:
-UPS logistics campaign detailing
-Transportation's strategy for shipping business (ex. UPS, USPS, DHL, FedEx)
   ---featuring: USPS profit loss analysis, what UPS gain more from Logistics' campaign, which is most convenience place to go between FedEx Kinko or UPS store--better one stop service center

Reminding:
-Push and Pull process clarification
-Supply Chain Management in divided parts
  =>Procurement
  =>Logistics/Transportation
  =>Inventory

My walking plan will be achieved at the lowest satisfaction as of today it's been counting at 62.9 miles so far and it's only 5 days left in condition of below 32F (bronze level at 60 miles, silver level at 75 miles, and gold level as 100 miles), I hope I can do better in here. :)

A purpose per post

I always want to do or note things I think about and interested in my field, Supply Chain Management. I started from focusing in Logistics science, but so much more is going on these days which we can't deny that it doesn't exist or on growing. People focus and study deeper each day, we look at things at the macro step at first and now is 'micro.' I realized that I can improve my knowledge in my field by studying and analyzing more cases in real world situations. My sights might be one of the good solutions someday in the future, to myself or the others. At least it'll be the record of why and how it's so important, to me. As if I might lucky to continue my education emphasis in SCM(PhD.) and be able to share or help more people get through this stuff, I hope to see myself post at least once a week(four per month), as a promise to myself. Wish me luck!
