SpaceWaves: What it takes to build a Martian supply chain (with video)

Sydney Do joined SpaceWaves to talk about the Martian Supply Chain.

Sydney Do, systems engineer at the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory, hopes to send humans to orbit Mars and come back in the late 2030s. Following a successful orbit and round-trip mission to Mars and back, the next missions would send astronauts to land on the surface of Mars for progressively longer amounts of time. Even though it may be more than a decade before humans set foot on Mars, the logistical planning has already started.

In a SpaceWaves Fireside Chat on Thursday, Do and Andrew Cox,...

NASA is gearing up to establish the first permanent colony on the moon as a transshipment point for even further missions to Mars, and it needs a reliable delivery system to shuttle supplies back and forth.

On Thursday, Mark Wiese, manager of deep space logistics for NASA’s Gateway program, solicited logistics and freight technology companies to...

Raising the bar for OTIF performance: Transplace shares 3 tips for success

Walmart truck on highway

The world’s largest retailer has high expectations for on-time delivery. As of Sept. 15, Walmart is requiring suppliers to achieve 98% on-time and in-full (OTIF) delivery. Noncompliance incurs a 3% fine. Previously, Walmart required 70% OTIF for less-than-truckload (LTL) carriers and 87% for truckload carriers.

Walmart is not alone. In response to consumers’ urgent demands for stocked shelves, several other retailers have similar requirements of suppliers and consumer packaged goods (CPG)...
