Materials Management and Distribution
http://www.mmdonline.com/
_* Background
This is the website of Materials Management and Distribution, Canada’s Total Logistics Magazine, one of the many publications owned by Rogers Media, a Canadian multimedia giant based in Toronto. According to MM&D, the site is a separate entity, “not merely the printed magazine on-line.” The site includes links to current logistics news, a related events calendar, a complete archives of all published articles dating back to 1996, free downloads of logistics software, a discussion group, and links to related external websites.
_* Positives
The layout of the site is quite simple, with a variety of internal and external links. Articles from the archives are well-written and easy to read, emphasizing the practical aspects of logistics management. News stories include a mix of items relevant to both U.S. and Canadian managers.
_* Negatives
Although the database contains much useful information, it appears to be weighted more heavily toward issues relevant to a Canadian context. This is not surprising in view of its ownership.
_* Relationship to Course Material
Information from this site is relevant to all areas of Operations Management covered in the course, with emphasis on the supply chain, including inventory management, warehousing, materials handling, and transportation issues.
