The management of this information is critical to the success of the business.The aim of SCM in reefer trades is to collaborate with all the supply chain partners to improve the visibility and velocity of the process. This includes ·PLs that shall provide the correct “mentality” to the operation and the link with shipping lines (these more focused to fill the space on the ships vs a customer-focus of the reefer 3PLs). Linked to it, the words “reefer logistics” refer to the practical issues surrounding transportation, warehousing and inventory or fresh/frozen goods management. Where there is an external focus it’s more or less a synonym for SCM, but it can also have an internal focus, getting goods from site A to site B inside a company at different stages of the business process. The term “reefer logistics” is also used in smaller companies where “supply chain management under temperature controlled environment” seems too grand. “We cannot dream to create a sustainable culture, with any but sustainable souls of the buyers” Sustainable seafood in supermarkets More supermarket shoppers are demanding to know they are buying from operations that don't threaten fragile fish populations, or damage habitats with nets and other commercial gear. And supermarkets are meeting the demand. Traditional grocers are increasingly promoting seafood that's labeled sustainable. In fact, consumers are more and more aware of the food that they eat and how it's grown and how it's raised and how it's caught. Supermarket chains have increasingly embraced the sustainability movement, prompted not only by consumer demand but by the growing realization that supply could be in jeopardy. Public awareness of overfishing and other practices threatening species such as swordfish and Chilean sea bass has stoked the sustainability movement. Some estimates indicate that a quarter of the seafood sold to US and European consumers comes from illegal 4
sources: It's a challenge for supermarkets to ensure all their sustainable seafood comes from legal sources. Meanwhile retailers see strong growth in sales of organic and natural product lines, including packaged and fresh food made mostly without synthetic pesticides, fertilizers, antibiotics or added growth hormones, and meat from animals raised without antibiotics or added hormones. “The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago.

We have all seen so many hierarchical organizational charts, sprawling boxes of letters and arrows arranged in inverted pyramids — and have been through so many budget, planning, and problem solving meetings, that we take all of this as a given, as if it had existed forever. In fact, it hasn’t. The hierarchical organization that we see today was invented in the last century, and it is an incredible invention. It can direct and coordinate the actions of thousands of people making and selling thousands of products or services across thousands of miles, and do so effectively, efficiently, and profitably, week after week after week. If you had told an average citizen in the year 1900 what this structure and those sets of processes were accomplishing everywhere today, they would have thought you daft. But 20th-century, capital “H” Hierarchy (a sort of hardware) and the managerial processes that run on it (a sort of software) do not handle transformation well. And in a world with an ever-increasing rate of change, it is impossible 5
