The Supply Chain Buzz for August 1st Featuring Kelly Barner: Dial P for Procurement Edition

Supply Chain Now

By now, most supply chain professionals have adjusted to having our profession top the news headlines nearly every day. If only that were the only change taking place… With supply chain performance becoming a higher profile part of national security, it would seem that our work is becoming more intertwined with government policy and politics as well.

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, Scott Luton, Greg White, and Kelly Barner spent a fast-paced hour covering some of the most compelling news stories of the week:

• The complexities in the oil supply chain that might be making it possible for countries like Russia and Iran to export crude oil in defiance of global sanctions

• The real-world implications of the recently passed $280 Billion CHIPS Act for the U.S> semiconductor industry

• Whether 3D printing has finally gotten to the point where it is a practical solution for meeting parts needs

• Is it time to panic about the availability of Hershey’s product this Halloween???
