CHICAGO, Dec. 27, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- The volatile nature of the global supply chain continues to be a priority in boardroom discussions amongst global manufacturers and retailers. This includes the ongoing conflict in Ukraine that is causing delays and unforeseen cancellations in air and sea cargo in airspace and shipping lanes, further squeezing the capacity, and driving up freight costs. To make things worse, rising tensions between the US and China continue to create uncertainty and disrupt trade flows, and the exacerbated bottlenecks due to unforeseeable labor shortages at major ports are causing congestion and delays in container loading/unloading or shipment delivery. Experts and practitioners agree that these changes are here to stay and are reacting to them by fundamentally rethinking both their physical supply chains (bringing suppliers and plants closer to customers) and the digital infrastructure, with AI.
