From the Director's Desk

Welcome to our first edition of Supply Chain Link for 2025.

We hope this edition proves useful, with content spanning from supply chain technology to history and education.

Advisory group member Dave Christie describes what’s happening in the supply chain technology space in our country.  We then dive deeper into a specific technology, as Professor Damian Biel, currently visiting the University of Auckland Business School, discusses Design for Supply – related to his  presentation at the Centre’s 20 February February After 5’s event.

 Dr Subh Ganguly looks at some intriguing historical supply chain connections,  and Dr Sarah Marshall highlights a new programme in Business Analytics with a focus on Supply Chain Analytics that is proving very popular.

We trust this issue provokes thought about how you can improve the supply chain environment in New Zealand.
