Unsurprisingly, given the problems for merchant shipping at the southern end of the Suez Canal, more ships are passing round the Cape of Good Hope... leading to longer journeys & container transfers at the west of the Mediterranean for shipment going to Italy, Greece etc.
Both add costs to shipments & as noted in a post yesterday, this will be another external driver of continued inflation.

What lies behind Greggs ongoing success & expansion?
There may be a number of factors but interestingly in an age of outsourcing & fragmented supply chains, Greggs is vertically integrated (owning most of its own manufacturing & distribution system), allowing it to be more agile in responding to shifts in the market (despite claims an integrated network would be slower).
I wonder how many business school case studies that might prompt?
#NPM based packages should mandatorily disclose whats the code size and what will be the nodes-modules folders count and total size. coz that combined together could what kind of liability i am getting myself into. #supplychain issues arise from being unaware / ignorant about your liabilities mostly.

Through its static shots of cargo ships being loaded & unloaded, the video highlights the overwhelming sense of anxiety that these operations can produce, while inviting viewers to contemplate their complicity in a system that values profit margins, speed and efficiency over people and the planet"
