The Supply Chain Buzz for May 9th with Greg White and Kelly Barner

The Supply Chain Buzz is Supply Chain Now’s regular Monday livestream, held at 12n ET each week. This show focuses on some of the leading stories from global supply chain and global business, always with special guests – the most important of which is the live audience!

With regular host Scott Luton on the road, Kelly Barner, host of Dial P for Procurement, stepped in to kick the week off right with Greg White. After trying to logic their way through the fan appeal of the USFL, they took four top news stories and discussed them individually before looking for connections between them.

In this session, created in collaboration with a live Supply Chain Now audience, Kelly and Greg covered:

• Why the anticipated sudden reopening of the port in Shanghai may be too much of a good thing for other port cities around the world

• How successful Tempur Sealy is likely to be in their quest to diversify sourcing so they can mitigate the risk of future China lockdowns

• Whether working in the metaverse will help Kraft Heinz solve its supply chain problems

• Does our amusement at the Ukrainian “hacktivist” DDoS attack on Russia’s vodka supply chain outweigh the concern about cybersecurity in general?
