EDITOR ’ S COMMENT HELLO AND WELCOME to the June issue of Supply Chain Digital .
This instalment is all about how businesses handle efficiency across the supply chain .
Kicking off this theme is an article that explores DHL Supply Chain ’ s work with Gatwick Airport . We spoke to DHL ’ s Senior Vice President of Specialist Services Martin Willmor about how he and his team are helping one of the world ’ s busiest airports cut waste .
Also on this topic , Dr Marcell Vollmer , Chief Digital Officer at SAP Ariba says that there will be no turning back as procurement goes digital , and the winners and losers will be defined by how they embrace technology .
We also profile a number of companies this month . JLL – which has made the June front cover – is a particularly interesting example of how a healthcare company has leveraged its supply chain to build trust . Also profiled in this issue are Shell and METRO Group .
Our top 10 this month explores the biggest transportation companies in the world . Whether its people , parcels , or solutions – we take a brief look at what makes each organisation tick .
From everyone at Supply Chain Digital , we hope you enjoy the issue .
