The video tackles a persistent mindset among supply‑chain professionals who feel trapped by external forces such as customs and global logistics, asking who should ultimately own tariff and duty management. The speaker argues that the answer lies within the supply‑chain function itself, which possesses the most comprehensive view of product, information, and cash flows. Key insights highlight that traditional, function‑aligned structures—warehousing, distribution, legal, finance—scatter responsibility for trade compliance, creating silos that impede effective risk mitigation. By reframing the network as a value‑stream rather than a collection of discrete functions, the discipline of tariff management naturally aligns with supply‑chain ownership. A memorable quote underscores the point: “If not us, then who?” The speaker stresses that supply‑chain professionals, because they see end‑to‑end network dynamics, are uniquely positioned to drive duty‑management strategies, rather than delegating to legal or finance departments. The implication is clear: empowering supply‑chain teams to own compliance and tariff risk can unlock cost savings, improve agility, and transform a perceived constraint into a strategic advantage for global operations.
The episode of Supply Chain Now spotlights Africa’s evolving logistics landscape, featuring veteran supply‑chain leader T.T. Malloy of SAPix. Malloy recounts his two‑decade career across distribution, warehousing, contract logistics and cold‑chain fruit exports, and previews the upcoming SAPix annual conference...
The video walks through two fundamental PLC techniques—seal‑in (or sealing) and output latching—used to keep an output energized after its initiating condition disappears. A seal‑in circuit combines a permissive (the start button) with an interlock (the stop button). When the start...
The video examines how the Iran‑Israel conflict has reverberated through India’s centuries‑old glass‑handicraft sector, pushing an industry that once generated roughly ₹2,000 crore in exports toward a severe downturn. Producers cite a cascade of external shocks—U.S. tariff policy, disrupted...
At the N3 summit in Toronto, industry leaders gathered to discuss Canada’s strategy for keeping its manufacturing sector at the cutting edge, with Next Generation Manufacturing Canada CEO Jason Myers outlining the nation’s priorities. Myers highlighted persistent challenges—rapid technology cycles, labor...

The video examines how solid rocket boosters (SRBs) are manufactured, contrasting aerospace giants like Lockheed with chemical‑industry firms such as Hercules and Thol, and highlights United Technologies’ role in merging propulsion with avionics, even noting its foray into tilting turbo...
India’s textile sector is grinding to a halt as a severe liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) shortage curtails operations in Surat, the country’s western textile hub. The shortage, tied to disruptions in Middle‑East oil flows, has forced roughly half of the...
The Economist’s video examines whether “Liberation Day” – Donald Trump’s pledge to revive U.S. manufacturing – has delivered on its promise one year after the administration’s tariff regime took effect. The data show manufacturers shed roughly 100,000 jobs while the broader...
The briefing spotlights how artificial‑intelligence workloads are turning high‑bandwidth memory (HBM) into a critical bottleneck for semiconductor manufacturers. HBM, once a niche component, now underpins the most powerful AI accelerators and is being ordered in volumes that dwarf traditional DRAM...
The Enterprise Unleashed episode features retired Clorox chief supply‑chain officer Rick McDonald discussing how digital fluency and emerging technologies are reshaping enterprise supply chains. McDonald emphasizes that leaders no longer need to code, but must understand AI, predictive analytics, and...
The Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) team unveiled a breakthrough computational code that leverages the Frontier supercomputer to simulate additive‑manufacturing microstructures in just one minute. By re‑architecting the problem and splitting simulations across time, the researchers transformed a task that...
At the 2026 ISPE Europe Annual Conference, Erbe introduced its 4.i Sustainable Benchmark project, demonstrating how a GMP‑compliant clean‑room can be built within a timber‑frame structure. The presentation positioned timber as a viable alternative to traditional steel‑concrete plants for pharmaceutical...
The video outlines a vision for advanced manufacturing that focuses on rebuilding high‑pay, high‑skill jobs in the United States. It argues that the sector’s next wave can be powered by domestic production rather than off‑shoring, positioning the U.S. as a...
The International Energy Agency unveiled its 2026 Energy Technology Perspectives report, a flagship analysis of clean‑energy technology supply chains and market dynamics.
