Lisa Anderson, President of LMA Consulting Group, joined NewsNation WGN to discuss the growing congestion challenges affecting U.S. ports and the broader supply chain implications. What began as severe disruptions at West Coast ports has spread across the transportation network, creating bottlenecks at East Coast and Gulf Coast ports as companies reroute freight in search of capacity and reliability.
In this interview, Lisa explains the factors driving port congestion, the ripple effects across transportation, inventory, and customer service, and what manufacturers and distributors should do to mitigate risk. She also discusses why supply chain agility, end-to-end visibility, and proactive planning are essential to navigating ongoing disruptions and maintaining service in an increasingly volatile environment.
