| 摘要： | THIS MONTH, I'M STEPPING AWAY FROM MY USUAL Supply chain matters to provide a testimonial on a remarkable human being and my friend, William E. (Bill) Greenwood, former COO at Burlington Northern (BN). Bill passed away at age 85 on September 22. I first met Bill around 1980 when he became the head of a new business unit at BN called "intermodal." I had gotten in the business several years earlier, when it was still called "piggyback." By 1980, I began characterizing intermodal as "piggyback with a MBA degree" because it was finally moving out of the backwater as the orphan child of most railroads and into an increasingly more prominent position with the advent of deregulation. Bill and his team at BN began setting the pace for the emergence of intermodal into the prime spot it occupies today. |
