2010 middle east state of supply chain management
This document provides an introduction to a report on the state of supply chain management in the Middle East. It notes that while the region is optimistic about an economic upturn, many companies may struggle to meet demand due to weak supply chains from prioritizing short-term cost cutting over operational readiness. The Middle East has emerged as a global freight hub but current players will need vision and oversight to shift from short-term thinking to developing efficient, responsive supply chains that can support business growth in the region.
BiOM
The document discusses the challenges of using a prosthetic leg after amputation, as experienced by Sgt. Ed Lastowski. It describes the mobility issues, pain, and lack of stability caused by traditional prosthetics. It then summarizes Sgt. Lastowski's experience trialing the BiOM ankle system, which uses robotics to replicate natural ankle function. He found it provided natural mobility without pain or effort. It allowed him to hike and be active again for the first time in decades. He recommends the BiOM for other amputees.
