Supply Chain Trends Over the last two weeks, we participated in three supply chain summits, conferences and/or annual meetings (with a west coast bent), and so we thought we’d pass on the key highlights and action items most relevant to our clients and colleagues. We gained a 360 perspective from ports, ocean freight, class I railroads, truckers, distributors, and manufacturers. What’s the bottom line? Chaos and resilience for the global logistics industry (with droplets of opportunity); opportunity for the manufacturing industry, technology, and talent. Chaos in the Global Logistics Industry with Long-Term Potential It was clear that the global logistics leaders are concerned. They have two key items boxing them into a corner. Tariffs : As we have discussed in our Tariff Playbook , tariffs are causing an upheaval in Southern California as the ports are largely dependent on deliveries from China (70-80%), and the supporting goods movement sector (trains, trucks, ocean, etc.) are...

The keys to vendor managed inventory (VMI) success. VMI (vendor managed inventory) is the process where the supplier manages the customer’s inventory so that the customer has the “right” item in the “right” place at the “right” time to ensure high service levels, efficient and productive operations, and the least amount of inventory tied up unnecessarily.

From its ports to warehouses and the trucks and trains connecting them, Southern California’s logistics industry is a daily beehive of activity. And like a beehive, what affects one part can affect the whole. In the near term, “people aren’t going to change their supply chains in a day,” said Lisa Anderson, a logistics industry consultant based in Claremont. “So product will still come in and it’ll still flow into Southern California.” Longer term, “companies are going to start, and they’ve already started, reshoring some production,” Anderson said. “So what does that mean for logistics? If it’s coming from Latin America, it can still come through the ports. Those products will still go through the Inland Empire and out to the rest of the country. So that’ll still take place. If it’s produced domestically, obviously it’s not going to come in through the ports.” Overall, warehousing will “go down over time slightly. But I do think it can remain relatively robust,” Anderson said. “...

The chronic U.S. trade deficits have been blamed on a variety of factors. One reason, in the view of Stephen Miran, the current chairman of President Trump’s Council of Economic advisers, is that America’s status as the issuer of the world’s reserve currency results in capital inflows that the U.S. then uses to import goods from elsewhere, leading to the trade imbalances. To remedy that problem, Miran proposes a tax on foreign holdings of Treasurys. He refers to it as a “user fee,” the purpose of which is to reduce, somewhat, the appetite foreigners have for dollar-denominated assets. Joseph Sternberg, a member of the Wall Street Journal’s editorial board, has called Miran’s proposal “an even dumber idea than tariffs.” He thinks it is the worst scheme ever concocted by anyone in the first and second Trump administrations. Sternberg is right to be perplexed. Issuing the world’s reserve currency does impose some costs on the U.S. The dollar stays consistently stronger than perhaps it ...
