by Pradeep Chadha Last weekend, a senior member of my family asked me if I could come along to help him shop for a car at a local dealership. What I thought was going to be a non-exciting “dealing with a car salesman” kind of day turned out to be a thought-provoking automotive supply chain awareness trip. After going over the inventory in the dealership system, we zeroed in on a car and decided to take it out for a spin.

Pool distribution as a store replenishment strategy is more relevant than ever because of decreasing margins and the need to move goods quickly to stores in reaction to changing consumer demand. Pool distribution is a great example of the power of the “network effect”, as it leverages numerous retailers and pool operators to substantially lower distribution costs and increase delivery frequency.

In a previous blog we described a new concept introduced by Gartner Research about the need for both macro-agility and micro-agility. Now we apply this same macro-agility and micro-agility concept to risk management. In the era of the global supply chain, many companies think about risk management in terms of “ macro agility ”—their ability to anticipate the likelihood of, and develop readiness plans for, major crises that impact the chain, like geopolitical instability and extreme weather.

Spot market rates were up last week, but volumes fell. Hurricane Matthew likely played a role in both of those factors. Shippers paid more to move freight ahead of the storm, and then load posts dropped when the affected markets locked down at the end of the week. Inbound rates could rise in hard-hit areas like North Carolina this week. Darker-colored states have higher load-to-truck ratios, meaning that there's less competition for van loads in those states.
