Hi y’all I just joined a few days ago and just found this bowl today. Seems like a lot of activity here. I’ve been in food safety/quality in manufacturing most of my career and I’m now in my second supply chain job. Is it worthwhile to get any type of certification in supply chain? I’m really more on the technical side than the business side. Any recommendations are appreciated.

Lean Six Sigma is still a great one especially in manufacturing! Any sort of project management cert is good!

Hi everyone!

This isn’t really an interview question but more of an on-boarding question.
Bit of background- I left my job of 3 years in Dec 2021 for a new company. Initially, I thought the company was great but my mind quickly changed. The on-boarding process was horrible, minimal training, thrown onto enterprise project 2 weeks in, over time, and there is no process for anything. I ended up hating my job.

Fast forward to Mid March, I started applying for jobs again but I omitted this role.

Serious billing question - if during the course of the day, you first receive an email from Client A at say 11:10am and you read it, you then respond to it at 12:20pm. You get another email at 2pm from Client A and respond immediately. The next email comes in at 4pm, you read it and respond only at 4:30pm. None of the email responses take more than 3-5mins. You are working on matters for other clients at all other times during the day. How much are you billing for Client A?
