The 3rd International Workshop on Food Supply Chain – WFSC was held on November 4th – 7th, 2014 in San Francisco, CA, USA

Motivation

Traditionally supply chain management has focused on improving responsiveness to consumers while keeping supply chain costs in line. Growing mainstream interest in sustainability has now forced many food suppliers to consider social or environmental impacts. How to provide an ever more diverse array of high quality and safe consumables while balancing the aforementioned often conflicting needs? In this meeting participants will present research that will aid in tackling these challenges

Port of Oakland Tour, Host: Susan Ransom, OICT Client Services Manager, SSAMarine

  • The Port of Oakland the fifth busiest container port in the United State. Unlike our larger neighboring ports to the South, which are primarily import centers, the Port of Oakland is roughly split between import and export. (Top export by value: fruits and nuts!)
  • Wine and Spirits are both the 5th largest import and export by revenue.

Oakland was the first major West Coast to build terminals for the then-revolutionary container ships, becoming the second largest port in the world in container tonnage in the late 1960s.
