Severe Winter Storm Hits the US
News: A historic winter storm in the US has caused significant disruptions, impacting logistics and supply chains. Over 1,000 flights have been grounded, and 3,000 delayed, severely affecting passenger travel and air cargo at major Midwest hubs like St. Louis Lambert International Airport.
Trucks and employees are immobilized, causing delays in time-sensitive goods and just-in-time inventory systems, leading to empty shelves and missed production schedules.
The storm, among the heaviest in a decade, highlights the vulnerability of supply chains to environmental disruptions. The situation emphasizes the need for robust contingency planning, particularly for regions like India, where logistics often depend on single-mode transport, offering critical lessons in building supply chain resilience.
