With the expertise of professors John Bartholdi, Ph.D., and Don Ratliff, Ph.D., the Georgia Tech team is collaborating with colleagues from around the world to form the Wine Supply Chain Council.  There are many challenges to moving wine, said Bartholdi, beginning with its status as a natural product.  Since timing is determined by nature, not planning schedules, the initial portion of the supply chain is a push system.
