Each day, every single person in the United States, all 324 million, discards about five pounds of waste. Be it a bottle that gets placed in a recycling bin or a piece of paper crumpled and tossed into the waste bin, every bit of the daily 1.6 billion pounds cast-off has a story. Everyone's Trash: One Man Against 1.6 Billion Pounds (Peter E. Randall Publisher, 2024) is full of those stories. It will wake you up and give you hope. As the author, Duncan Watson, says, "More people in America recycle than vote. Recycling is more popular than Democracy!" Watson began his personal trash journey in his pre-teens as an attendant at a small municipal recycling center in Northern California. After a brief stint as a child voice actor for Charlie Brown, he spent several years wandering the resource management desert looking for a better paying gig. He has been a restaurateur in his family's restaurant, and done a number of other stints in the hospitality arena. He has worked at the US EPA, and for the last 30 + years worked for the City of Keene. NH's Dept. of Public Works. During that time, he was honored with a Recycler of the Year Award and he was also inducted into the “Hall of Fame” by the Northeast Resource Recovery Association. He has also spent many years on the Board of that regional cooperative market for recyclables. He did receive a master's degree in Resource Management and Administration from Antioch New England Graduate School. Professor Michael Simpson has been the Director of the Resource Management and Administration graduate program at Antioch University New England, in Keene, NH.  Currently, he is participating in the Circular and Low Carbon (CALC) project, in conjunction with International Sold Waste Association and the City of Rotterdam, NL.

The City's Solid Waste solution, a Materials Management Station, is featured in the latest edition of “The Insider". The Materials Management Station, which can also operate as a Transfer Station, is a component of a larger facility planned for Butler Drive that would process trash collected from City residents and businesses into a biomass fuel feedstock for generating renewable natural gas (RNG). The product is also approved by the EPA as a substitute for coal and wood in conventional solid fuel boilers and cement kilns. This show's guest is Assistant City Manager Darren Gore, and the podcast is hosted by Public Information Officer Mike Browning.

While the worst of the supply chain fiasco of 2020-2022 is behind us, elements certainly continue to challenge us daily. What we should have done then and what we can do now is communicate the truth among our supply matrix.We call it a supply chain, but the reality is all players in it service other customers and many of them serve other markets. The increasing number of variables due to that fact makes coordination even more critical to effective capacity management.Supply chain personnel have been expediting since before it was called Materials Management. In early 2020 most of us fell into one of two camps: the first faced a precipitous decline in demand which mean de-expedite everything; the second saw skyrocketing demand, which we chose to address by expediting everything. Strong supply chain competency is like beautiful choreography. It leverages what each participant does best, blending together variables to create something beautiful. Every choreographer knows it only detracts to have dancers enter the stage before they are needed. Yet in most supply chain efforts, we continue to fall back on expediting -- getting parts and materials before we need them -- when the going gets tough. It is a perfect example of confusing motion with results.Dancers must trust one another and the choreographer; the same is true of the best supply matrices. Honesty enables better decision-making by all of us.Coordinated conversations with suppliers that are struggling to provide materials when you want them can determine what the group can actually do. Which part/supplier is the key to getting this all moving? Knowing that is crucial to wisely leveraging capacity. Understanding what other parts can then be delayed -- even though we wish we had everything right now -- until that key part can be received from that supplier helps prioritization throughout. Demanding more or earlier hurts supplier prioritization with no offsetting benefit.The hesitation in doing this is a lack of trust. We're not sure we actually know what we need when and that our own production planning is that precise. We don't trust all our suppliers to actually ship "our" material to someone else right now and replace it to us at the agreed-upon date.When everyone is lying we're all hurt. When everyone is telling the truth but we don't trust them, we're all hurt. Supplier selection and development is an integral part of operations management. Done well, coordination and communication the last few years has been strong, even if not what any of us wanted to hear. We could jointly plan, and execute.Not done well, expediting is your strategy. Your dance floor is cluttered with excess dancers who have no current role.

Our guest on this week's episode is Justin Bailie, co-founder of TMS provider Rose Rocket. Good workers are always hard to find, but this year it has been difficult to find the labor needed to run our supply chains, and truck drivers in particular. What can be done to put more drivers on our nations' roads? Supply chain executives are focusing on reducing their material supply risks and avoiding unplanned delays and shortages in the year ahead – not surprising, after what we've experienced in the past couple of years. New research  shows what these materials managers plan to do to lower costs and eliminate material shortages.A new bill has been introduced in the U.S. Congress to assure that truck drivers have access to restroom facilities at their pick-up and drop-off locations. Currently, drivers are often forbidden to use restrooms at their stops, which often means that the drivers are greatly inconvenienced and must find alternative facilities.DC Velocity's sister publication CSCMP's Supply Chain Quarterly  offers a podcast series called Supply Chain in the Fast Lane.  It is co-produced with the Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals.

ISO 22716 sets out the framework for a quality management system for anyone involved in the manufacture of cosmetics and other healthcare related products. This is not only limited to production but also the control, storage, and transportation of products, including the purchase of raw materials, components and packaging material. While this Standard's focus is on the manufacture of cosmetics, many of the requirements can apply to any manufacturing process, especially those that involve a risk of contamination. Today, Mel is joined by Derek Hall, a Senior Consultant here at Blackmores, to talk through the main structure of the Standard and how it can be applied. You'll learn What is ISO 22716?
