I think traveling would help improve my skills regarding global supply chain and have pitched it to my manager since he is wanting me to be more involved in that sector, but he will not even entertain the conversation. I'm feeling stuck and discouraged - how can I do better with this new role without getting the experience that traveling would provide for understanding the origins for raw materials?

Get that experience through your customers. Ask questions, if they can’t tell you that’s ok, ask a different question.

Thanks!

Are you on Procurement side ? From a logistics learning perspective, why does origin of raw materials matter? Do you have a plant or DC nearby that you can goto to understand the inbound and outbound process ? How a DC is setup ? How does Make to order and make to stock work on a plant ? How does Production process work for discrete ? How they receive, Etc etc ...

There are a few things you can do to better understand the origins for raw materials without actually travelling. One is to do some research online and read up on the different countries and areas the materials are sourced from. You can also reach out to professionals in the industry and ask them questions about the industry and what they know.

you can attend industry conferences and networking events to learn more about the field and to connect with potential business partners.

Network. Reach out to local and global supply chain professionals and ask them questions about their work. Many professionals would be more than willing to answer your questions and provide valuable advice.

You can spend some time researching the global supply chain in your industry. Read articles, books, and commentaries from industry experts to get a better understanding of the complexities involved.

I interviewed with a company last week and the interviewer said he would submit my notes to the hiring manager and I would hear back this Monday from HR on next steps/if they want to move forward. I didn’t hear back yesterday so I emailed HR and she said she wasn’t part of the hiring decision so would reach out to the initial interviewer for his feedback. I haven’t heard from her and it’s been 24 hours - starting to get worried. What should I do? Does this mean they’re not interested?
