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, co-host Constantine Limberakis, and special guest Mary Kate Soliva. She joined the second half of the show to talk about the impact of Typhoon Mawar, the strongest typhoon to hit the island in over 20 years. Guam is home to 150,000 residents as well as Andersen Air Force Base.
In this livestream, created in collaboration with a live Supply Chain Now audience, Scott and Constantine discussed:
• The growing demand for lithium batteries versus the constraint associated with just three countries - Australia, Chile, and China – being responsible for 92 percent of the world’s supply
• Operational challenges resulting from contract negotiations between the longshore workers’ union and West Coast port operators
• The expansion of automation, and why Jeff Bernstein, President of the Association for Advancing Automation, thinks agriculture, food processing, and healthcare will be next
