Special Industry Focus: Supply Chain Site Selection
Click on the image below to access a series of Boyd articles from current and past “State of Logistics” issues of Supply Chain Quarterly, the official publication of the Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals (CSCMP). The Boyd articles provide useful insights and economic data on supply chain site selection. Boyd has been very active in this sector with clients UPS, Dell, Century 21 Stores, HP, Boeing, Gwynnie Bee, among others. In the late 1980’s, a pioneering Boyd study of alternative home delivery systems to the USPS carried out with McKinsey & Co. helped pave the way for many of the “last mile” supply chain strategies adopted by the e-commerce industry.
