RFID chips or radio frequency identification is slated to be subject to examination as far as traceability is concerned. In line with this, the maple syrup producing federation of Quebec, Canada was given more than $110,620 federal funding for the tests.

The funding has been approved in order to give sufficient support for the study of maple syrup barrels that have RFID chips. Federation des producteurs acericoles due Quebec, the maple syrup producing federation, is seeing a great advantage to the use of an RFID tracking system. The follow-up sales phases will gain the most benefits from this system.

Since monitoring will be given more importance, the improvement of the quality of the syrup will also yield. With the tracking system ready, there will be an enhanced identification capacity aside from the transparency of the different stages involved.

Supply Chain Management (SCM), will be introduced in Hofstra University as a new major and minor, coming fall 2011.

The development came up at a session on new majors/minors, which, interestingly, ended up as a discussion on scm, scm strategies, scm processes and the future and scope of supply chain management.

The first scholar to enroll for scm as a major subject, Jerdene Allen said, "I decided to change my major because I kept hearing about Supply Chain Management and was interested in operations".

"No two days are the same", is what Frank Colletti, MRO purchasing Manager at NBTY, had to say about supply chain management. SCM grew with the web's explosive expansion during the 90s, and hence jobs in SCM are widespread.

The university is now amongst the many that have started offering supply chain management as a major.
