Trans-Pacific Trade

A person could spend a never-ending amount of time mining the web for information on specific subjects and never end up satisfied. At other times, some great information just falls in your lap when browsing for something entirely different. That happened to me today. I ran across the site for Tompkins Associates, a consulting firm in the supply chain field. They provide a lot of helpful information up-front and free through white papers and such. One such paper is on Trans-Pacific Trade from 2003, but a nice summary of the key issues with a general guide of how to be successful. The document is linked below for your downloading ease:

This weekend I will be posting on how airports in the Asia-Pacific drive the strategy behind a firm's establishment of a supply chain hub in the region.

Everyone have a great weekend!
