30 Years.
This month is not only the beginning of a new year; it is also the 30th anniversary of Katzscan Inc. Tempus fugit. I honestly don’t know where the time went. As I reflect on what I’ve accomplished, it’s a lot.
Three published books, the first two available in hundreds of university libraries worldwide. Last year I had the pleasure of being interviewed by a master’s degree student in Hamburg, Germany who read and incorporated one of the themes of my first book – Detecting and Reducing Supply Chain Fraud – as a core part of his thesis. His master’s thesis scored an 88 out of 100 after which he graduated with his master’s degree in Global Logistics & Supply Chain Management from Kuehne Logistics University.
Two peer-reviewed papers for Henry Stewart Publications’ Journal of Supply Chain Management, Logistics, & Procurement. Both papers passed the peer-review committee on the first submission.
I’ve been a monthly editorial writer for Supply Chain Management Review – one of the leading supply chain publications – since 2023. My article series on The Perfect Order was published last year by SCMR. And a nice highlight last year was when Costco’s Connection magazine published my article “Don’t get foiled, what business leaders can learn from the sport of fencing” based on my third book Attack, Parry, Riposte: A Fencer’s Guide To Better Business Execution in their July 2025 issue for the For Your Business article.
(You can find links to all of my articles – including some PDF downloads – on the Katzscan website on the Articles & Audio page which is under the Media menu link.)
Over 60 US and international presentations. Over 60 US and international articles.
All of the above while helping leading companies with their software (selection, implementation, utilization), supply chain (compliance, financial penalty chargeback reduction, relationship improvements), data (analysis, mapping), and business operations (increased efficiencies, documentation).
It’s been quite the 30 years, much more than I could have imagined when I started out.
I hope you’ll take the opportunity to look around the Katzscan website and see for yourself what I’ve been up to these past three decades.
And if the past is prolog, I’m not done yet, as there is much more to look forward to achieving and many more companies for me to help.
In appreciation to all of those who helped me get to where I am today.
