When Irish rock band The Script wrote their 2012 hit song “Hall of Fame,” I doubt they would have considered the newest physical hall of fame, which opened Oct. 8. It’s the Supply Chain Hall of Fame in Rogers, Arkansas.
The Supply Chain Hall of Fame honors industry professionals whose innovations have improved manufacturing, materials transportation, delivery and logistics. The Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals created the hall of fame in 2016.
Inductees include automaker Henry Ford and Amazon.com founder Jeff Bezos. Lesser-known inductees include George Raymond Sr., inventor of the wooden pallet and pallet jack, and George Laurer, an IBM engineer who devised the coding and pattern used for the universal product code.
The physical hall is affiliated with the Walton College of Business of the University of Arkansas. It includes exhibits as well as conference and event space.
