Coming Full Circle: Navigating the Supply Chain Disruptions from East to West Haven't we seen this movie before? The current East Coast port strike is taking us back to a familiar challenge—reshaping warehouse operations across the U.S. East Coast warehouses are already feeling the strain with goods piling up, while West Coast facilities are scrambling to handle the surge in rerouted shipments. The result? Overcrowded warehouses, space shortages, more bottlenecks, and rising costs on both coasts. If this feels like déjà vu, it’s because we’ve been here before. During the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, West Coast congestion forced many to divert cargo to East Coast ports. Now, the pendulum has swung back. Companies that learned to be agile during COVID are better positioned to handle these disruptions. We’re seeing the full circle of supply chain challenges—again emphasizing the importance of flexibility, clear communication, and forward planning. #SupplyChainResilience #WarehouseManagement #PortStrike #LogisticsSolutions #OperationalExcellence #COVIDLessons #SupplyChainStrategy #TransportationTuesday #BusinessContinuity #Adaptability #WarehouseWednesday
