In this episode, guest Patrick Penfield, an assistant professor of supply chain practice at Syracuse University's Whitman School of Management, discusses how Amazon will be moving into vacant mall spaces to create mini distribution centers.
We also examine a growing trend of some shippers moving away from the major parcel carriers and toward smaller, regional carriers.
And despite high unemployment numbers in the general workforce, the logistics industry still finds it difficult to find skilled workers for warehouses and transportation. We look at new initiatives to assure a steady pipeline of workers into the industry.
