Skill UI

A comprehensive skill set for senior transportation managers overseeing a large, multi-modal carrier portfolio. It covers the full lifecycle of carrier engagement, including sourcing, compliance checks (FMCSA SAFER), executing complex RFPs, negotiating granular rate components (linehaul, FSC, accessorials), and establishing performance scorecards. Use this skill to optimize logistics costs, mitigate supply chain risks, and ensure consistent service quality across varied freight types.

A comprehensive resource providing codified expertise for managing complex energy portfolios for large commercial and industrial (C&I) consumers. Covers electricity and gas procurement, tariff structure analysis (TOU, RTP), demand charge mitigation, PPA evaluation, and multi-site energy strategy development. Ideal for optimizing utility spending, understanding complex utility bills, and building resilient, sustainable energy supply chains.

A comprehensive framework for optimizing inventory levels and planning replenishment in multi-location retail environments. It covers advanced demand forecasting techniques (e.g., Holt-Winters, ML models), calculating safety stock based on variability, estimating promotional uplift, and generating actionable purchase orders while minimizing stockouts and excess inventory. Ideal for professionals managing complex SKU portfolios across various supply chain systems.

This module is designed to manage and resolve unexpected operational exceptions within the supply chain or logistics process. It helps maintain business continuity and ensures that deviations are handled efficiently, optimizing the overall flow from sourcing to delivery.

This guide details how to install and configure authentication methods for the Flexport API. It covers both static API Keys (bearer tokens) and dynamic OAuth credentials (Client ID/Secret) to secure connections for logistics and supply chain operations. Use this when integrating a new application to read, write, or manage shipment data.

This comprehensive guide provides a structured roadmap for migrating logistics operations from legacy sources (e.g., spreadsheets, old APIs, ERPs) to the modern Flexport API. It details advanced architectural patterns such as the Strangler Fig pattern, product catalog migration, dual-write implementation, and phased cutover strategies, ensuring a smooth and reliable transition for complex supply chain digitization.

A comprehensive workflow for establishing and maturing a Third-Party Risk Management (TPRM) program. This guide covers the entire vendor lifecycle, from initial inventory and risk tiering to conducting due diligence (SOC 2, ISO 27001), embedding security requirements in contracts, and ensuring continuous monitoring and secure offboarding. Essential for compliance and supply chain risk management.

This guide provides a framework for authors to strategically position their empirical research within the ongoing academic debates of Operations and Supply Chain Management (OM/SCM). It teaches authors to move beyond merely identifying knowledge gaps by problematizing shared assumptions, explicitly distinguishing empirical observation from analytical modeling, and aligning the contribution with the target department's specific mission.
