Excellent presentation indeed..

It happened everywhere, Australia too. One only per person in the supermarket. It still ran out.

If you consider the supply chain, the costs go up steeply. Large companies may be able to lay out multiple supply chains to share the risk, smaller companies simply don't have that ability.

It is very important to learn from these experts how they share the knowledge about the experience in Logistics and Supply chain.

Yes, please, lessons learned instead of repeating the cycle (meaning never learning from/changing behavior).

[@atenas80525]

sharing risk - difference between insurance is that companies are competitors not neighbors, if your competitor has a supply chain disruption, that is a positive advantage for your company - which may even be survival

[@steverocksyo]

When restaurants were shut down, they should have still had them prepare food or at least package them, then the government could have subsidized the cost. But instead we threw all that food away because it wasn't packaged to consumers. Same with cruise ships, they could've processed that food. You saw the lines of middle class waiting at food banks.

[@IamReallySanta]

How about nothing should have been shut down ?

[@steverocksyo]

@Santa Claus yeah, we didn't even have testing for a month so you want to send people into the unknown. You first.

[@hahahia999]

@@IamReallySantaapparently he didn’t know the history of the lost milk in the river,at that time the payment for the logistics and packages is unaffordable as there is too much milk in the market with much less customers.

[@aksharmaharaj364]

This is very interesting. I've seen companies like OpenTrade doing this in Africa but because of legal disclosure policies (POPI act in South Africa), how can you view your suppliers' suppliers if they do not give consent to show who they're supplying?

[@maxwelldillon4805]

You didn't do the outro music :(

[@GaasubaMeskhenet]

lighten the burden by letting people have the free time to do the works they find enjoyable! I want to grow food and do repairs! end forced labor! no more evictions from primary residences! let the people and the planet rest!

[@alexanderstewart594]

Is this Ted from Breaking Bad? I thought that dude ran his company into the ground.

[@atenas80525]

QUESTION - supply chain issues now seem like a "perfect storm" similar to Great Depression - economic and ecological issues occurring at the same time - how much of this is 1 in 100 year supply issues? Don't know, just asking

[@supplychainlogisticstv]

while both supply chain disruptions and issues are like Great Depression can have significant economic consequences, they differ in terms of scope, duration, underlying causes, and required responses. Supply chain disruptions are typically temporary and localized issues, whereas the Great Depression was a systemic crisis with far-reaching impacts.

Insurance might be a bad analogy. How well would insurance companies fare if everyone got into a car crash at the same time?

lighten the burden by producing for need instead of profit. end forced labor. let the people and the planet rest. no more evictions from primary residences!!

Simple answer. Remove idiots and lobbyists from politics. Problem solves itself.

Another crazy thought allow ships to dock rather than anchoring outside of ports for weeks if not months because...science. or even crazier, don't mandate an allready struggling industry.

I think the consumers are part of the problem.. Many ppl had to throw away their toiletpapers because they bought too much of.

[@KhanSohailTareen]

I dis agrees with this solution

[@rorydart]

I feel like this guy is just saying things, everything is so surface level

[@antoniomunoz9065]

Count less on foreign goods and focus on made in America products.

[@apexpredator1018]

International trade is fine, but fundamental needs like ⚡, 💦 & food should be mostly localized.

[@toni4729]

Stop growing the same stuff and make sure there's enough of everything instead of just the rubbish we get the most of.

How Do You Fix Broken Election? Stick Around For The Next Trump Talk!

[@adecakasio6482]

its always easy to put the blame on the unavailable information. unfortunately thats almost never the reason for supply chains to fail. Its never about data not being available, but instead about incentives not being adjustetdwell enough to enable analysts to earnestly watch out for possible threats. From 2020 on there were thousands of warning signs and thousands of researchers and experts publishing about this topic. unfortunately many companies didnt take the warning to heart, because the prize of shifting policies was and oftentimes still is too high. its not a technology issue. its an issue of bad leadership and wrong incentives. again.

OMG! An a speaker be any more boring!?!
