Supply Chain

The term “supply chain” refers to a group of processes, people and resources in a company, that have the responsibility of controlling all activities from the supplier to the necessities of the customers. All these activities made on a supply chain need to be made carefully, because it will make possible the growth of the company in the commercial and industrial area.
The last week, I attended to a presentation about that chain supply was very important. The speaker told about the different processes that are realized in a supply chain and the most important for me, was the logistic process.
The logistic processes are in charge of monitoring that the product is finally sent to the costumer.
This activity was excellent; all people who could take this exposure learned so much about supply chains; I hope to attend to other activities in the future about topics like this.

Global Warming

The global warming is a temperature phenomenon that increases the atmosphere, earth and oceans’ temperature. This aspect has become worst during the last decades, especially during the 20th century (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_warming, 2005). There are different causes and consequences; some of them propitiated by us and some other by the nature.
Many people think the global warming is only the result of human activities, but this is not a true. For example, the solar variation and greenhouse gases are the most important natural aspects of global warming because they produce temperature changes, resulting in heat increasing during summer and extreme coldness during winter.
We can also say that human responsibility has had a more impacting effect, because our negligent acts have increased the occurrence of this phenomenon and people have other tools to stop the increasing of temperatures and do not use these tools; for example, people produce more and more garbage and do not recycle, which is a good tool to stop the increase of global warming.
Some important effects regarding global warming are for example: many people dying because of extreme temperatures, many children with breathing problems (asthma), animal species extinction (golden toads) among others.
If we become aware of this problem and take actions, we will be able live many more years enjoying our nature and a healthy world.
