  <title><![CDATA[#SupplyChainCity Report Ranks Atlanta Number Two]]></title>
  <body><![CDATA[<p>The Georgia Tech Supply Chain &amp; Logistics Institute served on a task force for #SupplyChainCity, an initiative created by the <a href="https://www.metroatlantachamber.com">Metro Atlanta Chamber</a> aimed at transforming the region&rsquo;s traditional supply chain into a digital supply chain powered by the cross-section of smart devices and the Internet of Things.</p>

<p>Deloitte Consulting LLP (&ldquo;Deloitte Consulting&rdquo;) and a group of Atlanta area corporations helped launch the initiative. The study is the first phase of #SupplyChainCity, and its purpose is to baseline the current state of the region&rsquo;s supply chain capabilities and guide Metro Atlanta toward a leading role in the next generation of industry.</p>

<p>The study evaluated four key metrics across seven of the largest metropolitan statistical areas (MSAs) in the United States known for their supply chain capabilities: New York&ndash;New Jersey, Atlanta, Chicago, San Francisco Bay Area, Dallas, Los Angeles, and Seattle.</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.  -->
