Chase Sowden (Barcoding, Inc) Garners Food Logistics Champions Award

 Supply chain architect recognized for helping food and beverage companies identify and eliminate waste in their supply chains to become more efficient, accurate, and connected
 
BALTIMORE – March 28, 2016 – Barcoding, Inc., a leader in supply chain efficiency, accuracy, and connectivity, announces that Chase Sowden, supply chain architect, is a winner of the 2016 Food Logistics Champions: Rock Stars of the Supply Chain Award. With more than 20 years of experience, Sowden has been recognized for helping food and beverage companies identify and eliminate waste in their supply chains in order to increase revenue, decrease operational costs and improve the overall customer experience.
 
In its second year, the Food Logistics Champions award recognizes influential individuals and organizations in the food/beverage industry whose achievements, hard work and vision have shaped and continue to attain milestones in safety, efficiency, productivity and innovation throughout the global food supply chain.
 
“Making supply chains more efficient, accurate, and connected is about being proactive versus reactive – especially in the highly-regulated food and beverage industry,” said Chase Sowden, supply chain architect, Barcoding, Inc. “Too many times, people see a problem and implement a ‘shoot-from-the-hip’ approach to fix it. However, if this plan does not work, it is very difficult to pull back as it is already embedded into the organization’s operations. By continuously looking for areas for improvement, companies can make strategic, gradual enhancements and prevent issues before they occur.”
 
A PMP-certified, Lean, Six Sigma Black Belt, and Agile Scrum Master, Sowden spearheads Barcoding’s dedicated practice, Supply Chain Architecture by Barcoding™. There, he leverages lean methodologies to create and deliver holistic, end-to-end supply chain solutions that include a range of auto-identification technologies.
 
Lara L. Sowinski, editor-in-chief of Food Logistics, said, “Our industry benefits from the vision and dedication of early pioneers and contemporary entrepreneurs alike who understand the uniquely integrated relationship between people and the global food supply chain. From farmers to transportation providers and others who play a part in the global food supply chain, this award is Food Logistics’ way of celebrating the talented trailblazers and inspirational mentors whose work deserves acknowledgement and appreciation.”
 
Individuals and organizations that earn a place within the “Food Logistics Champions: Rock Stars of the Supply Chain” award will be profiled in the March 2016 issue of Food Logistics, as well as online at www.foodlogistics.com.
