Lisa Anderson was interviewed by NTD News to discuss the supply chain implications of the Francis Scott Key Bridge collapse in Baltimore. The bridge serves as a critical transportation link for freight moving through one of the East Coast’s busiest port regions. Its collapse created immediate disruptions for shipping, trucking, and logistics operations, forcing companies to reroute cargo, adjust transportation plans, and evaluate alternative supply chain strategies.
In this interview, Lisa explains how transportation disruptions can ripple throughout the supply chain, affecting costs, service levels, lead times, and inventory. She also discusses why manufacturers and distributors should evaluate their supply chain vulnerabilities, develop contingency plans, and build greater resilience to navigate unexpected disruptions and maintain customer commitments.
