Description
In this episode, we're joined by MIT Professor and MIT CTL Director Yossi Sheffi to discuss the latest supply chain news and trends. Professor Sheffi shares with us his predictions on future supply chain disruptions and sheds light on the implications of expansionary fiscal policy on inventory management and logistics network strategies. With e-commerce being the go-to channel for consumers during the pandemic, retailers have been tasked with transforming their logistics networks and rethinking their inventory management strategies. We discuss the implications of this on retail supply chains and a host of other trends we're likely to see in the aftermath of the pandemic.
