another one bites the dust

As if more evidence were needed that the term "logistics" is losing ground to "supply chain," the Material Handling Industry of America (MHIA) recently announced that it was renaming one of its subgroups (or "product sections," in MHIA parlance) from the Logistics Execution Systems Association (LESA) to, no surprise here, the Supply Chain Execution Systems & Technologies Group (SCE Group). MHIA notes that the term "supply chain execution systems" better reflects the way the industry refers to these technologies.

Member companies of the SCE Group, which was formed in 1995 as the Warehouse Management Systems Group, provide supply chain execution systems software, hardware and services. For more information on the SCE Group, contact Mike Ogle, MHIA director of technical engineering services, at (704) 676-1190 or mogle-at-mhia.org.
