DELAYED GETTING

IMPORTANT AND THAT'S COVID-19
VACCINES PHARMACEUTICAL
COMPANIES COULD START
DISTRIBUTING THOSE VACCINES TO
HEALTH CARE WORKERS AND NURSING
HOME RESIDENTS BY THE MIDDLE OF

AND SO MUCH MORE IS ALLEN AND
WHEN DISTINGUISHED FELLOW AT
THE UNIVERSITY OF TENNESSEE'S
GLOBAL SUPPLY
CHAIN INSTITUTE AND FORMER
EXECUTIVE AT UPS ALLEN GREAT TO
HAVE YOU HERE, THANKS SO MUCH
FOR JOINING US. SO THE BIG
QUESTION HERE IS WILL THE
PACKAGES THAT WERE BUYING FOR
BLACK FRIDAY ARE THOSE GOING
BUMPS TO MAKE ROOM FOR THOSE
VACCINE SHIPMENTS TO.
>> THE MESSAGE OF THE OF THE
SEASON IS TO SHIP EARLY.
>> YOU KNOW
THE DELIVERIES ARE GOING TO HIT
A TRIPLE THE FACT IS THAT
YOU KNOW AIR SHIPMENT AS AS YOU
MENTION. WE'LL HAVE A MUCH MORE
IMPORTANT THING TO SHIP
HOPEFULLY ADMIT
TO SOME AND THAT'S GOING TO BE
THE VACCINE. SO THAT'S GOING TO
CRUNCH
THE CAPACITY FOR TYPICALLY WHEN
WE MOST NEED
IT FOR FOR THAT FOR THE
CHRISTMAS
GROUND DELIVERIES ARE ALSO
BEING IMPACTED BECAUSE OF A
LACK OF DELIVERY
SHUTDOWNS EARLIER IN THE
CURTAIL PRODUCTION AND DELIVERY
MAN FOR FOR BOTH THAT ACCIDENT
HAD 4 U P S AND THEN
I GUESS THE 3RD PART OF THIS
TRIPLE THREAT IS PEOPLE.
YOU KNOW WE ARE TRANSFORMING
THOSE DIGITAL CLICKS INTO THE
PHYSICAL GOODS THAT WE
OPEN ON CHRISTMAS DAY AND FEEL
TOUCH SQUEEZE
THAT TAKES PEOPLE AND AS
EVERYONE KNOWS.
UNDER THE HEIGHT OF THE
CORONAVIRUS RIGHT NOW AND SO
THAT'S GOING TO IMPACT THE
NUMBER PEOPLE THAT ARE GOING TO
IN SORTING AND MOVING THOSE
PACKAGES SO. YEAH IT'S GOING TO
BE A PEAK SEASON LIKE NO I CAN
ONLY IMAGINE THAT.

CERTAIN TIME. WHEN SHOULD WE BE

THE CRUNCH FOR ALL THESE
POOR WORK HERS EXPLAIN WHY

WE HAD EARLIER IN THE YEAR THAT
AFFECTED PRODUCTION OF THESE
BANDS ARE ALWAYS ON A SCHEDULE
AND MANUFACTURING AND DELIVER
THE DELIVERING THESE
BANDS AND NO ONE COULD
HAVE PREDICTED LAST YEAR AT
THIS THAT WE WOULD HAVE TO BE
THE KIND OF BLUE MINI CAR THAT
THAT WOULD CREATE THE NEED FOR
MANUFACTURING MORE AND SO.
WITH THE FACTORY SHUTDOWNS AND
AND
THE SUDDENNESS THE SPIKE IN
E-COMMERCE DELIVERIES KIND OF
COME BY TO CREATE A REAL CRUNCH
FOR THE DELIVERY COMPANIES.
>> WELL IF WE'VE LEARNED
ANYTHING FROM FROM THIS
INTERVIEW ALLEN, IT'S ORDERLY
OR STAFF RIGHT NOW IT'S TIME TO
