Challenges facing the healthcare supply chain were thrust into the spotlight in 2020, as the COVID-19 pandemic took hold and escalated at a rapid pace. Effective and timely sourcing of sufficient crucial items including personal protective equipment (PPE), sanitizer and ventilators became a critical problem for hospitals and healthcare systems.
In this paper we examine the lessons learned from last year’s crisis and look at recommendations for supply chain management that could effectively control inventories while containing costs and producing optimal clinical outcomes.
Furthermore, in addition to defining a framework for improving supply chain structures and performance, we will also consider the increasing role of technology and automation together with trends in logistics and inventory management. Click to read more and download the report at www.colliers.com.
The Supreme Court late Thursday blocked the Centers for Disease Control from enforcing a federal moratorium on evicting renters during the Covid pandemic, a defeat for the Biden administration’s effort to continue the moratorium despite an earlier signal from the court that the government’s action lacked the proper legal basis.
Imposed in early August, the current moratorium was due to expire in early October. It was challenged by a group of landlords who argued that the CDC had no authority to impose such a restriction on its own.
They said the nation’s landlords have been losing as much as $19 billion a month. “Congress never gave the CDC the staggering amount of power it claims,” the landlords argued in their filing in the Supreme Court.
In an unsigned opinion, six Supreme Court justices agreed. “It would be one thing if Congress had specifically authorized the action that the CDC has taken. But that has not happened. Instead, the CDC has imposed a nationwide moratorium on evictions in reliance on a decades-old statute that authorizes it to implement measures like fumigation and pest extermination.” Click to read more at www.cnbc.com.
Meredith Cullen has been interested in the Texas land market since he was a kid, driving around to scout tracts with his father Roy.
“That’s what my dad was into and that was his talent: finding out where the path of growth is,” says Cullen, who leads Cushman & Wakefield’s land brokerage team in Houston along with David Cook.
Roy passed that talent and passion to Meredith, who’s using it to ignite what is already a red-hot market.
“It’s on fire,” Cullen says. “Right now, there’s a lot of opportunity.”
That opportunity only exists if you know where to look like he does. Even then, it’s become a challenge in the past year.
“If I could find 500 acres maybe 10 miles past the Grand Parkway between I-45 and US 59, I could sell that all day long for $50,000 an acre,” says Cullen. “Right now, it’s just hard to find that product.”
What’s driving the demand? He describes it as a perfect storm of behaviors generated by and during the pandemic. First, we all know about the exponential increase in online buying, which created a need for last-mile distribution locations.
“I have a lot of clients looking for industrial land go off-market to try to find these pieces,” Cullen explains. Click to read more at www.rednews.com.
Even to those who’ve worked in the industrial real estate market for decades, the figures generated over the past year are staggering. “It’s as red-hot and active as I’ve seen it in my career,” says Reid Goetz, Senior Vice President at Hillwood. “That’s both on the demand side and the construction and capital market side.”
Goetz is responsible for the industrial development and leasing within AllianceTexas, a 27,000-acre, master-planned and mixed-use development in North Texas that produced 53 million square feet of commercial development to date. “We have land holdings that will allow us to develop another 36 million square feet of industrial,” Goetz shares.
Since AllianceTexas got its start more than 30 years ago, it had a leg up on some of the new developments hoping to capitalize on the industrial boom, many of which are now running into supply chain issues with materials, including steel.
