Supply Chain Trends
  
This MHI view video explores the key building blocks to implement supply chain orchestration from the 2025 MHI Annual Industry Report.
Ransomware attacks, phishing scams, and third-party vendor breaches emphasize the need for advanced cybersecurity strategies and stronger collaboration between IT and supply chain teams. This MHIcast episode covers how to strengthen your cybersecurity efforts to be ready when hackers come knocking.
Warehouse managers must balance efficiency, cost, adaptability, labor, and human error to ensure that the technology and warehouse automation implemented provides measurable benefits. While warehouse automation can enhance productivity, software plays a crucial role in the efficiency of the operations. A good Warehouse Execution System is important for integrating various processes on the floor. When properly implemented, it can support growth, adaptability, and profitability.

Workforce
  
Although supply chains have traditionally been white male‑dominated, the status quo is quickly changing due to multiple factors. Among them are the growing racial and ethnic diversity among successively younger generations, the increasing number of women entering the field and the larger number of older people remaining in the workforce longer.
The Material Handling Education Foundation, Inc. (MHEFI) is proud to announce it has awarded an unprecedented $278,000 in scholarships to 71 exceptional students for the 2025/2026 academic year.
