Dive deep into the complexities of the modern world with us, as we navigate through the intricate maze of global supply chains influenced by current events and emerging challenges. We'll unpack Boeing's safety culture predicaments and scrutinize a hefty $51 million settlement over export violations. Discover how China's wavering demand shakes the foundation of global factory growth, we report Tesla's Model Y price adjustments, and feel the pulse of the oil market with the latest OPEC+ manoeuvrers. We'll also debate Apple's App Store's transformation in response to the EU's new digital legislation (DMA), and shine a spotlight on North Korea's clandestine munitions moves. Our journey doesn't stop there; we're also exposing the U.S. investigation into the data security implications of Chinese cars, and giving you insider access to the courtroom drama between Elon Musk and OpenAI.
Prepare for a roller-coaster of emotions as we wander through the drought-ridden farms of Catalonia and hear the stories of those fighting against the rising Mediterranean temperatures and the environmental toll it's taking. We introduce groundbreaking digital product passports that could redefine sustainability in industries like EV batteries and textiles, and we'll delve into the historical significance of guano in our quest for green ammonia. As we wrap up, we'll analyze the economic ripple effects of Houthi attacks on key shipping channels, elucidating the persistent inflationary pressures and the various hurdles British businesses face in the global marketplace. Join us for this expedition through the strategic landscapes of global supply chain resilience, where we learn how companies are shifting gears from reactive to proactive, ensuring supply chains can withstand the unpredictable nature of our interconnected world.

About Tony Hines and the Chain Reaction Podcast – All About Supply Chain Advantage
I have been researching and writing about supply chains for over 25 years. I wrote my first book on supply chain strategies in the early 2000s. The latest edition is published in 2024 available from Routledge, Amazon and all good book stores. Each week we have special episodes on particular topics relating to supply chains. We have a weekly news round up every Saturday at 12 noon...
