Our guest on this week's episode is Dr. Robert Sroufe, professor of sustainability at the Falk School of Sustainability & Environment at Chatham University in Pittsburgh. Supply chains are among the largest users of our world's energy. Yet our industry is one of the most advanced in advocating for sustainability. But as political winds shift dramatically in Washington, many environmental policies may be on the chopping block. Where do our industry's efforts lie going forward? Our guest has some insights and suggestions to better our supply chains while reducing their negative impacts on the environment.The White House termed Wednesday as Liberation Day – the day the administration announced all of the new tariffs. But it seems that supply chain leaders are feeling more shackled than liberated by the tariffs. We report on what leading supply chain groups, researchers, and economists are saying about how the tariffs will affect supply chain operations and world trade.This week the March Logistics Managers' Index report emphasized all the volatility we've been observing in the economy. Economic activity in logistics expanded in March, but at a much slower rate compared to the first two months of the year. We look at the numbers and what trends they may reveal about the health of our supply chain industry.Supply Chain Xchange also offers a podcast series called Supply Chain in the Fast Lane.

Our guest on this week's episode is Jason Schenker, president of Prestige Economics. Schenker is one of the world's leading economists and he shares his insights into what happened in 2024 with the U.S. economy as well as predictions for 2025. Our discussion includes the economic outlook for supply chains and the material handling industry in particular, inflation, consumer prices, interest rates, employment, and looming tariffs One of the top themes we covered in the past year was the labor pool, and specifically how employers in the logistics sector have struggled to find either qualified employees for increasingly technical positions, or simple enough at all for even entry level positions for things like warehouse work and truck driving. This week a report was released that identified five workplace trends that are coming up in the new year, and methods for how employers can best adapt.With peak shipping season behind us, it's time to move on to peak returns season. We are now in the thick of it when it comes to reverse logistics, as retailers and e-commerce fulfillment companies deal with all those post-holiday gifts coming back. We preview a January story in DC Velocity that reveals that many retailers are rethinking their approaches when it comes to managing their returns processes. Supply Chain Xchange also offers a podcast series called Supply Chain in the Fast Lane. It is co-produced with the Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals. A series of ten episodes is now available on the "State of Logistics." The episodes provide in-depth looks into the current states of key transportation modes, such as trucking, rail, air, and ocean.

Our guest on this week's episode is Jason Schenker, president of Prestige Economics & chairman of The Futurist Institute. He is a well-known economist who regularly focuses on supply chains and creates forecasts and economic outlooks for the industry. 2023 was a rough year for most aspects of the supply chain economy. Schenker shares the economic issues that caused supply chain problems during the past year and what issues will affect supply chains in 2024. We are now past the holiday peak season and we know what that means for retailers – we've now moved into the returns season. This year, retailers are figuring out how to differentiate between legitimate consumer returns and those who use returns to conduct fraud.The new year often signals a new round of industry awards and accolades. This year is no different, as many trade associations prepare to recognize industry professionals for their many achievements. The Women in Trucking Association has been out front on this issue, announcing over the past couple of weeks plans to honor women truck drivers and logistics leaders with two separate awards this spring. We provide details on how you can nominate deserving supply chain professionals.CSCMP's Supply Chain Quarterly also offers a podcast series called Supply Chain in the Fast Lane.

We have a COBT Special Edition for you this week! We had the pleasure of visiting with a great friend of the firm, Jason Schenker. Jason is Chairman of the Futurist Institute, President of Prestige Economics and a renowned futurist, economist, speaker and author. This special edition is centered around Jason's latest book, "The Future of Travel: Trends and Technologies Shaping the Decade Ahead: The Futurist Institute." The Future of Travel investigates COVID's effects on travel, leisure and hospitality for the decade ahead. It touches on technology, "revenge travel," activity levels, supply and demand of tourism, and much more. We had a great time discussing the book, the future of business travel, the war for talent, and how travel demand may look over the next year. We kick off with a brief economics discussion on the Employment Situation Summary, which is scheduled to be released by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics today, as well as the Consumer Price Index for May, scheduled to be released on June 10th. Colin, Mike, Matt and I had a lot of fun visiting with Jason and want to thank him for his time.
