(The Center Square) — The nation’s supply chain was stressed after two years of a pandemic, but the threat of a new rail strike laid bare the fragility of the supply chain.
“There was a lot of realization from the pandemic that while our supply chains were efficient, they always helped to get the lowest cost, they weren’t necessarily always as agile in terms of being able to handle these kinds of disruptions,” Tim Kraft, an associate professor of operations and supply chain management at NC State University, told The Center Square.
