You used the argument of there being a “tooling issue” for the supply chain issue. Your article that you linked mentions nothing of the aforementioned, yet you tried to leverage it as though it held any kind of veracity. Again, what ERP platform would you suggest to mitigate the supply chain issue, and please be very specific, thanks.

Really? Read the fricking article instead of skimming it. You might learn something.
"Yet the United States is “decades behind” foreign ports in getting carriers, terminals and shippers to provide each other access to commercial data for planning purposes, said Gene Seroka, executive director of the Port of Los Angeles. Concerns over data privacy, business secrets and security have resulted in a fragmented approach. Individual ports operate as separate fiefdoms rather than as part of a national system.
In the Dutch city of Rotterdam, Europe’s largest port, everyone involved in a cargo vessel’s arrival sees the same information on a common data-sharing platform. Called “PortXchange,” the software makes port calls “smarter and more efficient” than the use of separate systems or the telephone, according to the port’s website.
Seroka touts a tool called the Port Optimizer, which forecasts three weeks of incoming cargo. More information sharing — including over a longer time period — would allow carriers, terminals, truckers and dockworkers to better position equipment and people. But other than Los Angeles, New Orleans is the only U.S. port that is even testing the system.
“Information sharing and additional transparency is one of the few areas where indisputably we could get more capacity out of the current system,” said Dan Maffei, chairman of the Federal Maritime Commission."

I am extremely skeptical of that explanation.
America was doing just fine with shipping logistics before the last couple of months.
The more likely explanation is that America went INSANE with fiscal stimulus, way beyond even most european nations in cash payments to the citizens. Ports cannot handle the demand.

You’re not answering the question. What ERP IT system would you recommend to solve the supply chain problem?
Your article doesn’t state the cause of a software issue, but ok

Same here . i do my normal grocery shopping on sundays buying the usual items. i look down at my receipt that is usually about 200 now it shows 250 instead.

And yet a year ago, even with COVID we weren’t seeing the same problem.
What changed? Let me see…..

You serious, Clark? Are you implying demand was as high during many state shutdowns as it is now?

People still had to eat no matter where they were.
Posted on 10/18/21 at 7:25 am to Bullfrog
No, not true. I was so scared for my life during Covid that I barely even ate anything. I'm sure most people were just like me. So now that we can eat again, demand is going up, so higher grocery prices.
It's simple Covid logic.

Are you illiterate or just intentionally dense? Let me zoom in a bit more on the quote I already provided you:

We're just now barely testing out software? What the frick you mean "issue"? You usually don't have "issues" until a software solution is implemented.
Unless you're referring to why it hasn't been implemented which, again, had you read even just the snippet I posted would've answered this for you...focusing in again:
"Yet the United States is “decades behind” foreign ports in getting carriers, terminals and shippers to provide each other access to commercial data for planning purposes, said Gene Seroka, executive director of the Port of Los Angeles.

I personally believe we’ve also hit the inflection point of wages not keeping up with inflation courtesy of all the fiscal stimulus to the point where it’s almost pointless to take a job that doesn’t pay a hell of a lot more than eight or ten dollars an hour. You’re going to be impoverished either way, why even bother? Just do the minimum to let the government help you survive. So you’ve got a never ending labor shortage as companies begin raising wages to fulfill the new market demand, which combines with and contributes to supply side issues to create an inflationary spiral because as cost of living goes up, you’ll just continue to revisit this problem in a positive feedback loop.
When wages go up, as we know that they are, that “transitory inflation” narrative looks silly. We are never going to see 2019 pricing again, people acting like we are just comparing against 2020 in a vacuum are being really dishonest. The September read of CPI should have been the nail in the coffin about those talking about “base effects” comparing to the deflation seen in 2020, but alas some here still think that’s all we are seeing.

"LOL guys if we had just used better software this wouldn't have happened". Yet the whole port supply chain was working fine prior. So while software could help, it won't help now, and it won't fix the issues now. This issue screams of mismanagement via bad company policy or lack there-of. Your entire argument is moot, unless you're suggesting we just shut the ports down to get the magical software installed, working through 6 months of install issues and a year of personnel training. Where it's still managed under the same policies as before.

Did people eat less a year ago? Kinda doubt it
Did it take less time to load, or unload a truck? Laws of physics appear not to have changed
Does demand decrease the ability to supply? Not the last time I checked
Which of course precludes that demand is the problem, which it isn’t.
Really not the sharpest knife in the drawer there sport. Feel free to trot out some other supposed expert to support what you wish to be true and prove it.
