Supply Chain Log Jam - The Reality of the Real Causes and the Long-Term Challenges we Face moving Forward
Special Guest: Jeffrey Luft, Supply Chain Expert, and Consultant
A few months ago, economists generally thought that the bottlenecks across US supply chains, shipping, and the labor market could all be explained by "temporary" factors caused by the pandemic. Still, the reality now appears to be that supply chain bottlenecks have deteriorated instead of easing. This has happened because the supply chain problem goes way beyond Covid, $600 stimulus checks, and who is in the White House.
The real problem has to do with LABOR SHORTAGES that were predicted 10 years ago and are being caused by a MASSIVE generational gap between Baby Boomers and Generation Xers. Due to lack of labor, everything goes up from cost to production, the cost to delivery, and shortage of finished goods, creating price increases to supplement the lack of unit sales.
Jeff brings a technologically adept supply chain and logistics leadership with significant hands-on experience in strategy, development, and implementation of global supply chain solutions. He has led global manufacturing, logistics, and supply chain programs, in North America, APAC, Europe, and MEA. Jeff has extensive global experience working with diverse cultural practices, navigating complex regulations, and identifying and implementing opportunities to streamline supply chain processes to improve efficiency, increase sales, and reduce expenses.
