It’s that time of year again for recaps, and the All Things Supply Chain blog has traditionally joined in this positive habit. Perhaps it will come as no surprise to regular readers of the blog that we have once again managed to expand our readership in 2023. Thank you to all readers for the trust you have placed in us!
2023 was another turbulent year of crisis, in which geopolitical conflicts had an immense impact on the global supply chain – from the war in Ukraine to the conflict in Israel, which is now threatening sea routes in the Red Sea. But there is also a positive outlook: with ChatGPT, Open AI has taken the topic of AI to a new level, which holds many promises for the future and especially for the organization of processes in supply chain and logistics.
The All Things Supply Chain Awards – Highlights from 2023
And now we come to the annual celebrations, which recognize what makes the blog what it is: the great content from our even greater writers! Every year, readers vote indirectly for the awards with every click on one of our articles. That’s why this year Google Analytics is once again our jury in the categories “Most Read Guest Blogger”, “Most Read New Article” and “Most Read Article”. The ranking in the different categories is based on an index, which incorporates the absolute viewer numbers as well as the publishing date, in order to value the performance over time and thus also giving freshly published articles a fair chance of winning.

The – by far! – most read article in 2023 is Emilia Ashton’s article on the McDonalds supply chain. We all know the brand, are more or less loyal customers (the author admits to being a very loyal customer) and are sometimes not even aware of the efficiency with which food is served to us in 5 minutes.
