The Supply Chain Buzz for July 31st: 3 Key Manufacturing Trends

The Supply Chain Buzz is Supply Chain Now’s regular Monday livestream, held at 12n ET each week. This show focuses on some of the leading stories from global supply chain and global business, always with special guests – the most important of which is the live audience!

This week’s edition of The Buzz featured Allison Giddens. Allison is the co-President at Win-Tech, a veteran-owned, woman-owned small business that specialized in aerospace precision machined parts. When it comes to top trends in manufacturing, she has her finger on the pulse.

In this livestream, created in collaboration with a live Supply Chain Now audience, Scott and Allison discussed:

• The tentative deal between UPS and the Teamsters union which (hopefully) averts a massive labor strike, and what the new terms mean for shippers and consumers

• Bidding farewell to Yellow Freight, a major player in the LTL space, as they declare bankruptcy

• A bill before the U.S. Senate that would boost domestic pharmaceutical production and supply for critical medicines

• Allison’s three key manufacturing trends, and what supply chain professionals need to know about risk management, government regulations, and technology
