摘要：	ONE OF THE BIGGEST TAKEAWAYS for logistics and supply chain managers from the pandemic is focused on the need to source goods closer to home in an effort to reduce costs and transit times as well as improve supply chain resiliency. That's just one of the key themes coming out of a recent LM reader survey of 100 freight transportation, logistics, and supply chain stakeholders. These findings should not come as a huge surprise, given the many challenges the pandemic brought to light, including port congestion, limited product availability, a decreased labor pool and capacity availability. The survey's respondents emphatically drove home the point that that they're focused on finding and using suppliers located closer to North America, with 85% indicating that's now the case. Among the reasons for this cited by respondents were: tariffs; logistics costs out of Asia; lead times from overseas suppliers; ocean container backlog; not wanting to be as dependent on China; keeping inventory closer to the markets they serve; and reducing delays and creating better partnerships with suppliers.
