The Red Sea crisis and supply chains — ChainStoreAge.com

Recent conflicts in the Red Sea illustrate the need for nimble supply chain management:

“The Red Sea crisis is yet another indication that supply chain localization and regionalization are very much needed. This is an area under intense discussion, driven by the disruptions that most companies face when their supply chain is very long. As companies diversify and they shorten their supply chains, what should be the closest origin point? If it’s Central America, then how ready is Central America to absorb that extra capacity? The trick is to try to make that happen in a less capital intensive way.“
