The Rebound Podcast: Yossi Sheffi and The Magic Conveyor Belt

Listen in as Yossi Sheffi discusses The Magic Conveyor Belt and the state of supply chain management.


On this episode of The Rebound, MIT professor and author Yossi Sheffi talks about his latest book and what supply chain leaders learned from the pandemic that’s making supply chains better than ever. ASCM CEO Abe Eshkenazi and SCMR Editor Bob Trebilcock host.

The last time MIT professor and author Yossi Sheffi was on The Rebound, it was to discuss his book on supply chain’s role in the development and distribution of the COVID vaccinces. That was a time of incredible disruption, but even then, Sheffi, one of the industry’s real thought leaders, was arguing that supply chains didn’t fail: They performed heroically and exactly as designed.

On this episode of The Rebound, Sheffi is back to discuss his newest book, The Magic Conveyor Belt, as well as the lessons we all learned from the pandemic that are shaping the supply of tomorrow.
