How to fix broken supply chains

It won´t be new news if I say that Supply Chain challenges are not new, but it´s fair to say, in recent times they have become more real than ever and seem to have shaken up the way we have been looking at them in the past.

It´s rare the day we don´t see in the media news about new or existing disruption driven by the current Supply Chain challenges, and if whether you work directly in the field of Supply Chain or not, you surely would have been impacted one way or another, whether it was by out of stocks, delays on getting your parcels or prices skyrocketing to levels we have never seen before.

The good news is, that for these challenges, there are potential solutions. The caveat is, that they require a level of trust, transparency and openness that most companies and governments are probably not ready to achieve.

Having said that, in the video you can find in the link below, trade expert Dustin Burke explains how companies can keep up with the existing challenges and what will might take to address and improve some of them to create a more resilient and efficient Supply Chain tomorrow.

I haven´t had a nice, juicy and tasty tomato since I was a teenager, and that tomato was grown by my grandparents at their vegetable garden, not bought at the local supermarket.
