We definitely saw this hollowing out with the offshoring and outsourcing that began in the 1970s and 1980s. Mainly in the Midwest, while the coasts prospered. Will the current drive to automation lead to regional disparities as well?
Every product has a journey—raw materials ➝ factory ➝ customer. It looks simple, but behind it are constant adjustments, coordination, and problem-solving. When it works, it feels seamless. That’s the power of a strong supply chain. 🚚 https://t.co/CVEBanvR6l
Most supply chain leaders obsess over procurement savings and demand planning accuracy. Meanwhile, their warehouse quietly bleeds margin — through poor layout, undertrained staff, outdated tech, and safety shortcuts nobody wants to talk about. This edition changes that. https://t.co/abRK9zzCJN via @LinkedIn
