La actividad en toda la cadena de suministro creció a un ritmo saludable durante abril, pero el ritmo de crecimiento se desaceleró al nivel más bajo registrado desde enero de 2021, según una encuesta mensual publicada el martes. Un descenso en las métricas de transporte, especialmente un aumento de la capacidad de transporte, proporcionó los catalizadores.

Inventories clog supply chain again in February

Supply chain likely to stay bogged down with inventory

A Tuesday report showed activity across the supply chain was near record levels again in February. A sizable amount of inventory in the system was met by a lack of capacity to either move it or store it, a trend that continued from January.

The Logistics Managers’ Index (LMI), a survey measuring supply chain conditions, came in at 75.2 during the month, 3.3 points higher than January and the second-highest level recorded in the dataset’s five-year history. This was the 13th consecutive month the...

Lack of transportation capacity swells inventories, survey finds

Warehouse capacity tightens further in January

A survey measuring supply chain activity, the Logistics Managers’ Index (LMI), logged a 12th straight month with a reading above 70, a level classified as “significant expansion.” An accumulation of inventory throughout the supply chain and not enough transportation capacity to turn it quickly drove the increase.

The LMI increased 1.8 percentage points in January to 71.9. A reading above 50% indicates expansion while a reading below 50% indicates contraction.

The subindex for inventory levels...
