Talking Logistics launched a decade ago on January 29th, 2013. And just like that, it’s been 10 years. The crazy idea for launching an online video talk show about supply chain and logistics popped into my head while cross-country skiing a few weeks earlier. The very first episode was just me sharing my supply chain.

I am looking at the data for 2000-2013 for several reasons. I define the resiliency measurement as the tightness of the pattern at the intersection of operating margin and inventory turns for the period of 2000-2013. Strength, Balance and Resiliency will each count 30% of the total index with the peer-valuation counting 10%.

We find that this is true of too few companies.
