Chain Reaction: Disruption of Delivery - What’s to be done? Part 2

“We always made it seem like magic. Things just showed up – you had what you need” says Rear Admiral John Polowczyk in this episode of our Indicatiions podcast. In a compelling discussion with Chief Economist Dana Peterson, the Rear Admiral, who has a long history of supply chain management at the top levels of military and government, discusses how and why the COVID pandemic disrupted the delivery of goods. This episode was recorded before the Russian invasion of Ukraine, but still contains pertinent information for companies as they struggle with even further shocks to the global supply chain.

In this second part of our podcast series, produced in partnership with EY, you can listen to the conversation and learn:

-Why companies’ approach to a lean supply chain and “just in time” inventory was a critical factor in the disruption of the system

-What changes will need to be made to create more resilient supply chains, and why will it be so difficult to fix?

-What is the role of the Federal Government in this?

-Will outer space factor into the transportation of goods?
