The recent increase in #nearshoring, particularly in #Mexico, highlights the crucial need for efficient and streamlined border #logistics to enhance "Cross-Border Throughput." To handle the expected growth in cross-border shipping, companies must not only strategize wisely and secure favorable rates, especially in a slow market, but also, due to the high number of participants in a cross-border #SupplyChain and the great diversity of data and standards currently exist, be prepared to achieve digital interoperability. Collaboration between the public and private sectors is essential in developing a high-level strategy to establish an ecosystem that fosters standardized data sharing among #USMCA supply chain actors. This will enable implementing a #ControlTower system to enhance supply chain security and ensure the process is easily monitored. https://lnkd.in/gMFUmtxM

USMCA Helps Mexico Surpass China Mexico's displacement of China made world news. Data from the U.S. Census Bureau shows an import value of $427 billion from China in 2023, down from $536 billion in 2022 and $504 billion in 2021. In comparison, Mexico’s import value to the U.S. in 2023 was $475 billion, up from $452 billion in 2022 and $382.5 billion in 2021. The trend continues in 2024, as during the first four months of the year, the United States imported $129 billion from China compared to $162 billion from Mexico. One sector where the impact of the USMCA and nearshoring is most noticeable is the automotive sector, the main engine of the Mexican manufacturing economy. In 2019, Mexican plants produced $94.4 billion worth of components; by 2023, this reached $121.2 billion, and this year, the National Auto Parts Industry (INA) expects to reach $151.7 billion, an all-time high. #crossborder #estafeta #mexico #USMCA #supplychain #autoparts

Last week, during the "4th MIT MicroMasters in SCM Mexico City Meeting, 2024", I had the pleasure to meet in person and connect with the Dr. Yossi Sheffi , Director of the MIT Center for Transportation and Logistics, It was a great honor to learn from him and from his great experience, although some classmates could not attend, it is always great to connect with your professors and remember that we are here to apply our knowledge and skills to make a better world! Here some keypoints I learned from the meeting and his conference: 🔝If you are entrepreneur, close to your customers and listen to them. 🔝Supply Chains are automating fast, we can see this in warehouses, autonomus vehicles, in retail store operations, etc. 🔝Machine learning (AI) is good to recognize patterns and make predictions, machines and humans have compatible skills to develope jobs. 🔝You have to still studying and preparing yourself in the field, independently of the automation and technology advancements. You can learn more about AI and SCM in his new book: "The Magic Conveyor Belt: Supply Chains, A.I., and the Future of Work". Finally, I want to thank to the The Logistics World ® event and organizers Ilse Maubert Roura and Alejandra Balbuena for their attention and for gave us a professional space to host the meeting!

Friends and Colleagues, I just came across a very helpful article from Shoreview Advisors that gives a brief but worthwhile comparison between the logistical (transportation) implications of sourcing from Mexico vs China. Unfortunately, the article does not address any comparison of manufacturing capabilities or costs. https://lnkd.in/gCsNxq2s #shadowceo, #entrepreneurship, #startups, #ceo, #chairmanoftheboard, #boardofdirectors, #corporategovernance, #managementconsulting, #founders, #raisingequity, #management, #startup, #leadership

Dude? What I say. 😂 Cross-border US/MX trade consistent from inception & the end of NAFTA. (1994-2020) 26 years of preferred Duty status ($0/minimal) boosted the MX Peso, with US companies that opened locations in...? Cost of labor in MX over US or CA is cheaper where? Now bring those bad boys up (finished or VAS goods) cross the border into the US and what'd you know? It's a NAFTA shipment, (zero or preferred status) Duty. Look at our margins! Dude, brilliant! 26 years, wow what a run. Wonder if the uptick, is from product 'outside' of Mexico that piggyback Markings: Made in MX, Product of MX, Partially assembled in MX, etc.

The upcoming Mexico elections will have an impact on the future of Mexico's ability to expand their capabilities to support near-shoring and logistics infrastructure. Modernizing border crossings, improving legal certainty and improving roads and rail networks were among the ideas candidates raised during a presidential debate. #crossborder #mexico #mexicologistics

In my opinion, it's fascinating to see how various industries and companies are effectively capitalizing on the advantages of nearshoring #Mexico 🌎 🌎 🚗 One good example is the Automotive and Aerospace Industries ✈ Major companies in these sectors, such as General Motors and Bombardier, have established significant operations in Mexico. The country's skilled labor force, competitive costs, and robust manufacturing infrastructure make it an attractive destination for high-value manufacturing​ (Startup Ops Mexico)​​ (Greenberg Traurig)​. https://lnkd.in/g_eYiy_2 https://lnkd.in/gEzJ-6cC #nearshoring #estafeta #freightforwarding #USMCA #crossborder #lastmile

Last week in NOLA, we talked about the relevant skills that Project Logistics Professionals should have to thrive in this complex environment. I mentioned 3 skills that I value as super important these days: - Being able to adapt - Being able to deal with ambiguity - Being able to communicate across stakeholders Personally, I'm still working on doing all these with a Smile 🤣 #Logistics #Shipping #Careers #ProjectLogistics #Growth #SupplyChain #logisticsmanagement #projectmanagement

Every speaker so far at FreightWaves Future of Supply Chain has talked about the impact on U.S.-Mexico trade and all things nearshoring. One of the hot topics that Craig and Zach Strickland talked about was the massive spike in containers moving from China to Mexico. The reality is that Chinese manufacturers are moving quickly to establish a footprint, either directly or through joint ventures, as a way to navigate around the U.S. trade policies. Whether it’s raw materials, assembly, or production, there’s a ton of manufacturing moving to Mexico. I’m not advocating for that practice BUT, the reality is that this is going to have a big impact on freight moving from Mexico to the United States. Are you prepared to handle this impending influx of volume out of Mexico?
