Automakers worldwide are facing supply chain issues, with General Motors shutting down three of its North American plants, as a bottleneck of semiconductor chip production forces the slowdown of manufacturing.

Jason Miller, Professor of Supply Chain Management at Michigan State University, explains why stronger regional supply chains are key to buying American.
