I Still Dream of Jeannie

I’m glad to see that the long tail of the Internet, and TV Land, has brought this great 60’s show back to life.  For those of you who get tired of chasing parts, you can visit HULU and watch some T.V. at your desk today. Ahem…just be sure the volume is down.

Which brings me to my supply chain-related point today. An exercise I use in many of my seminars and classes contains the metaphor of a genie. Imagine that you found a magic lamp and a genie appeared. Rather than Barbara Eden, it was a supply chain genie. (You can pick your own image at this point.) Anyway, this genie gives you one wish: “If you could select the trait of the perfect supplier, what would it be?”

Tough one, huh? I’d love to hear what you have to say. Leave a comment on the blog with your “Number one supplier trait”.
