Recommendation

The pandemic emphasized the need for better ways to identify supply chain problems before they pile up catastrophically. In this video-taped update from the US Department of Transportation (DOT), Pete Buttigieg, US Secretary of Transportation, and Celeste Drake, Deputy Director of the National Economic Council, present a progress report on the Freight Logistics Optimization Works (FLOW) initiative. In this digital infrastructure project, supply chain participants share data to address their mutual challenges. The speakers make a compelling case for FLOW’s progress in its efforts to improve US supply chains’ affordability, reliability and resilience.

Take-Aways

  • The Freight Logistics Optimization Works (FLOW) Initiative is a collaboration between the public and private sectors to address US supply chain challenges through data sharing.
  • FLOW’s shared data infrastructure enables firms to deploy resources more effectively, thus improving their capacity and efficiency, and cutting the cost of consumer goods.
  • Even post-COVID, challenges such as climate change will continue to stress supply chains.
