Breaking down the Logistics Managers Index

An ASU supply chain management expert discusses how transportation costs, consumerism, and the supply chain impacted July's Logistics Managers Index.

In this story aired Aug. 13, 2024, on Arizona PBS:

We're seeing a strong consumer. Not as strong as it was a few months ago, but a strong consumer. With everything the Fed has done, they have not broken consumers yet… and the back end of the supply chain — the real upstream supply side — is pretty hot right now. It's a very interesting time.
