Multi-Modal Strategies and the Importance of Network Flexibility

12/15/2020 3:40 PM

2020 was a year of tremendous challenges, at the same time a valuable opportunity to rethink our supply chains and diversification of production facilities, analytics, and technology. Because of COVID, there was a repositioning of supply chains on a scale never seen before along with a massive boom and shift of consumer spending habits. We are certainly not done yet – the continued demand for medical supplies, the upcoming need to rush vaccines to all points on the planet at once, and the uncertainty of consumer spending habits will continue to place incredible pressure on supply chains and resources.
