Episode 005: Trucks Money and Food (Supply Chain Logistics and Problems)

Matt is our guest this episode to explain about how you really just don’t appreciate that tasty French fry and the to-go box that facilitated your order of said potato product. With Covid-world still a thing, we discuss ribeyes, lumber, nearly empty trucks, to-go boxes, FIFO, LIFO, plastic resins for foam, whiney chefs, hurricanes, Interstate 80, braille on drive-thru ATMs, burying stuff in fields, trucking, Just-In-Time, Lean Six Sigma, Ransom Olds, Henry Ford, Ohno Taiichi, William Deming, Malcolm Baldrige, an Argentine philosopher and sociologist, supply chain management, waste versus quality, speedometer cables, warehouses, lateral integration, vertical integration, refrigeration and food storage, 1970s oil crisis, the fascinating subject of postharvest physiology, the overabundance of food, global shipping, widgets and bim-bobs, coconut milk, redundancy, critical systems, bland white bread and potato products, the Americas, quality goods and cheap Chinese labor, geopolitical dynamics, cat litter home delivery, self-sufficiency, growing and preserving your own food, and passing down your knowledge and expertise. (Mike is a bit jealous he was out of town for the discussion.)
