Supply Chain Commander Explains Name!

as Kerrie mentioned in her comment, it may not be perfectly to why and how the term Supply Chain Commander should be used. I thought perhaps the best way to explain would be to recreate the conversation.

Act I, Scene I (of one) - Brian tries explaining his job to Jen and Bridget

Bridget: So what is it that do you do, exactly?

Brian: Well, I am responsible for managing the Reverse Logistics Supply chain for my company.

Jen & Bridget: (Blank stares)

Brian: I try to find the most cost effective way to move product from the customer, to us, back to the customer.

Bridget: So, you are kind of like the commander...of the supply chain.

Brian: I guess you could say that...

Jen: So you're a supply chain commander.

END SCENE

And so the name was born and has taken on a life of its own. As a side note, I have always been a fan of unnecessary exclamation marks in titles. I plan on using them until you all are sick of them so be forewarned!
