In this episode, our guest is Dr. Emily Tucker, assistant professor at Clemson University's Department of Industrial Engineering. Most of the medicines we rely on every day come from just two key trading partners overseas. That has created shortages and vulnerabilities in our medical supply chains and has limited our abilities to assure that we have medicines when we need them. Dr. Tucker explains why we have this problem and what can be done to solve it.
Ocean going vessels make up a significant portion of the carbon released into the atmosphere. This week we learned that Maersk, the huge container shipping company, is taking steps to decarbonize its operations. In an announcement Maersk says it has ordered a large16,000 TEU cargo vessel that will be carbon neutral. This new vessel will be powered by methanol. Is this a step in helping to alleviate climate change?
Susan Lacefield, the executive editor of CSCMP's Supply Chain Quarterly joins us to discuss the State of Logistics special issue. This issue of the Quarterly takes a deep dive into major aspects of logistics with specific articles on the status of freight, parcel, rail, air, ocean, inventory, and other market segments. How does the industry look now and how might that change in the near term?
