Remember the SCM index? We love our rankings, hot lists and hit counts. An earlier Kuukausiliite had an interesting way of looking at them, comparing the length of Wikipedia articles (e.g. there being more information about Middle Earth than say, Finland etc.). It certainly puts things into perspective. Here are some SCM-related comparisons:
Logistics (the discipline, remarkably without any references): 1 014 words
Logistics (Matt Gresham, the drum and brass artist, with references): 693 words
Military logistics: 885 words
Business logistics: 214 (remarkably only under “logistics”, no separate entry)
Humanitarian logistics: NO ENTRY
Supply chain: 766 words
Chain saw: 1 427 words
Distribution: 1 929 words
Supply chain network (my favourite of buzzwords): 337 words
Transport: 3 905
Purchasing: 2 543
Operations management: 507
Supply chain management: 3 264
Marketing: 4 296
John Mentzer: 870 words
Harry Potter: 8 148 words
For all of us who didn’t know “logistics” was an artist, here’s an excerpt of his “hits” on MySpace; giving a whole new meaning to the SCM hit list
