As global supply chain bottlenecks persist, optimizing the controllables has never mattered more. Here are five process improvements warehouses are prioritizing to bolster their logistics.
Warehousing and logistics companies have felt the stress of global supply chain breakdowns firsthand. Although inventory backups have improved since this same time last year, it still is not uncommon for items to take up to six weeks to arrive after an order. Yet just when these companies couldn’t imagine any more delays, new COVID variants, emerging global events, and subsequent international sanctions now stand to create fresh supply chain pain points.
But it’s not all doom and gloom. Making simple, impactful investments in IT improvements across your warehouse and logistics frameworks can help reduce the strain of supply chain bottlenecks both now and in the future.
Given the uncertainty in today’s current business climate, it’s important to double down on what you can control. Even if your hands feel tied as a result of larger external forces, it shouldn’t hinder the efficacy of your warehousing logistics. Improving your processes today will only help you weather industry shocks in the future. Warehouses and logistics companies should consider the following 5 tips to optimize performance in the current climate:
