  The New Logistics Advantage — Part 5 of 9
  Resilience is often managed as a portfolio of programs. Cybersecurity protects systems. Trade compliance manages regulatory exposure. Sustainability teams address environmental requirements. Energy programs manage consumption and cost. Supply chain risk functions monitor suppliers and disruption.
  Those disciplines are necessary, but the portfolio view can obscure a deeper reality: resilience is increasingly a property of the operating architecture.

  Transportation management is becoming increasingly network-dependent. Planning and optimization still matter, but the quality of a transportation decision also depends on carrier connectivity, shipment status, trade data, execution events, and the ability to coordinate responses across a fragmented logistics ecosystem.

From a logistics perspective, however, that misses the more interesting development. On September 29, the United States moved beyond making certain Canadian imports more expensive and prohibited the importation of specified Canadian alcoholic beverages, dairy-related products, and motorcycles with engines larger than 800cc.

  Harness Engineering in Logistics — Part 5 of 6
  Trust is frequently described as the obstacle standing between artificial intelligence and enterprise adoption. The implied solution is usually explainability: show users why the model reached its conclusion and they will become comfortable allowing it to act. Logistics requires a higher standard.
