"Here is sister"

I didn't think that taking a Supply Chain Management class would teach me so much about relationships.

"Intermediaries play an important role in supply chains. For example, in my village in India, you get married through an intermediary, the village priest. His job is to know all the boys and all the girls and finds you compatible girl. If arranged marriage not work, nobody use village priest anymore, so priest has to find you good match. Online sites don't work. If you find bad girl on adultfriendfinder.com, who you complain to? Customer service?"

"When dealing with clients, they need same person available whenever they call. Like in relationship, if you call girlfriend's house and mother tells you, 'She not here anymore, but sister is available.' You don't want sister; it's not same with sister. In supply chain, you cannot say to clients, 'your person not available anymore, but here is sister."
