摘要：	SUPPLY CHAIN EXPERTS need a "totally different perspective on inventory management" in the wake of the worldwide COVID-19 pandemic and its aftershocks. That means moving from "just-in-time" inventory distribution programs to "just-in-case" worldwide distribution strategies-meaning more industrial production in or near North America. That's the word from UPS CEO Carol Tome, who discussed issues that will shape 2022 and beyond during the U. S. Chamber of Commerce's State of American Business video conference on January 11. Issues she covered included economic trends and global competition to policy challenges and opportunities. "There's been a few wakeup calls throughout the year," Tome said. UPS is one of the stars of the COVID-19 era. Its 540,000 worldwide employees have delivered more than 1 billion COVID vaccines around the globe with a stunning 99.9% on-time rate to some of the most remote places on earth, Tome said. "It's not just the number, it's how we did it. Using sensors on every package, UPS tracked every dose, and we're proud of that."
