\u201cHow do you know you\u2019re at a supply chain event? Because the women are walking straight into the restroom, but there\u2019s a line for the men\u2019s room.\u201d<\/em>
\n\u2013 25-plus year supply chain veteran Michelle Livingstone of Home Depot<\/p>\n

Admit it. You laughed because, well, it\u2019s true. But the material handling, logistics and supply chain industry takes that observation very seriously. That\u2019s because publications like the U.S. Roadmap for Material Handling & Logistics predict that\u2014in a scant three years\u2014there will be 1.4 million new jobs created in our field. And to fill those jobs, the industry must find ways to attract demographics that, historically, haven\u2019t comprised a significant part of its workforce.<\/p>\n

Among those prospective groups are women. The Roadmap suggests that for the industry to meet its hiring challenges by 2025, \u201cwomen should account for a significantly increased percentage of the material handling and logistics workforce.\u201d<\/p>\n

But how?<\/p>\n

To get some ideas, MHI Solutions talked to seven women who\u2019ve established successful supply chain careers. All are enthusiastic about their experiences in the industry and the opportunities each has had. And, they\u2019re eager to share their insights in hopes of encouraging other women to join their ranks.<\/p>\n

Here are some of their thoughts about the appeal of a supply chain career, factors that have contributed to their workplace successes and how the industry as a whole might entice more women to consider the field.<\/p>\n
