Our guest on this week's episode is Zac Rogers, assistant professor of supply chain at Colorado State University. Rogers is one of the writers of the monthly Logistics Managers' Index. He shares about how supply chains performed during 2022 and predicts what will be ahead as the new year unfolds.

Some of the successes and challenges that supply chains will experience in 2023 may be related to whether the industry can solve the many product shortages we had during the past two years. Today we discuss semiconductor chips and the prospects for seeing better ongoing supplies of these vital components.

As distributors continue to face shortages of available labor and other challenges, the material handling industry is responding with new automation solutions. As a result, we expect to see new mergers and acquisitions and more expansion within the material handling industry.

DC Velocity's sister publication CSCMP's Supply Chain Quarterly offers a podcast series called Supply Chain in the Fast Lane. It is co-produced with the Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals. The third season of eight episodes has fully launched and focuses on attracting and retaining labor in our supply chains.
