  <title><![CDATA[The U.S. Roadmap for Material Handling & Logistics: Why 2025 matters today]]></title>
  <body><![CDATA[<p>The &ldquo;Material Handling and Logistics U.S. Roadmap&rdquo; was unveiled at the MODEX Show in Atlanta, which is sponsored by MHI, the Association of Material Handling and Logistics Professionals. The March 18 presentation played to a crowd so large they had to turn people away from the meeting space. The speed of that change was obvious when MHI convened the 100 industry leaders that stretched across end users, suppliers, educational and government leaders to take a look at the future of their industry. In looking into the future, they see a very different landscape.</p>

<p>The multidisciplinary report provides a glimpse of 10 years out, offering insight into the current and future challenges facing the industry and giving practitioners a plan to move forward. MS SCE Faculty Director Alan Erera&nbsp;and ISyE graduate and Auburn professor Kevin Gue are co-editors of the publication.</p>

  <!--  Disquisition: it's funny how I write these TODOs and then never
         revisit them. It's as though the act of writing the thing down frees me
         from the responsibility to actually solve the problem. But what can I
         say? There are more problems than there's time to solve.  -->
