Last week, excess inventories were reported at many retailers in the US.
Now, @CNBC reports that manufacturing orders in China are dropping by 20-30%.
Seems the #bullwhip is finally unfolding. #BraceforImpact#supplychain#logistics

"The cool kids in business schools are now the #supplychain kids" -
Hey - it never seemed any different to me; maybe just supply chain professors had that perception?
Great little podcast on the massive popularity of #logistics in business schools.

Eén conclusie na WK Wielrennen in @stadleuven (en eerder in @StadBrugge): de lat ligt erg hoog voor de volgende organisator.
Prachtige organisatie, parcours in/rondom Leuven dat een klassieker waard is, een collectieve beleving die alles zegt.

Many companies are working to digitize certain parts of their operations—as a way to automate some manual tasks, but also as a way to help their employees work smarter. Profs. Jan Van Miegham and Robert Boute share a digitization framework. https://t.co/7qwVUHwe34
What an EXCELLENT customer service!! A part of my @Spikeball rim broke off — two days later they sent me a spare one free of charge (from their DC in Holland). 🙏 @Spikeball
@robertswinney@JanVanMieghem Most suppliers of components for these high-end bikes are in China or Taiwan (w some exceptions in Italy). Lead times for some bikes are up to 9(!) months now — longer than for cars (that is, if they don’t rely on electronic chips, which are also short at the moment).
@robertswinney@JanVanMieghem From what I hear, the problem is especially in the more specialized sport bikes (such as race and gravel bikes). In additional to the surge in demand (after the lockdown), the peak in (container) shipping costs creates shortage of components.
Winkelketens zitten met historisch hoge onverkochte voorraden en willen dat de komende maanden niet opnieuw meemaken. Er wordt dichter bij huis besteld, ten nadele van India, Bangladesh, Pakistan en China. #Reshoring#herlokalisatie#plmKUL https://t.co/fzUdF11mC1
