Shownotes

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 Scott Luton, Greg White, and regular guest host Constantine Limberakis. They started the show by recognizing the life and professional achievements of Sandra MacQuillan, former Chief Supply Chain Officer at Mondelez International, who lost her long, hard-fought battle with cancer earlier this year.

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

• The impact of the United Auto Workers labor strike against Ford, General Motors and Stellantis on the economy in general and each manufacturer’s supply chain

• Infrastructure investments being made by India as they try to position themselves as a competitive alternative to China for manufacturing capacity

• Increasing human rights-based regulatory pressures that are changing the calculus for companies that have historically relied upon Chinese production

• Concerns about the energy consumption required to power generative AI
