How Your Warehouse Can Navigate Costly Global Supply Chain Disruptions

  • February 7, 2020
  • Automation, Our TAKE
With over 17,000 infections and more than 300 deaths, recent news about the outbreak of the coronavirus in China has grabbed attention from a global audience, including supply chain and logistics managers. Due to the virus, factories and logistics hubs at the epicenter in China’s Wuhan region have shut down and with it, many of the world’s largest intermediate manufactured product exporters are stalled. The potential impact of a prolonged period of inactivity in China is difficult to predict, but for plant or supply chain managers with production ties to China, it could be a stressful couple of weeks or months.

Whether it’s the coronavirus, or any other disruption, constrictions to the global supply chain pipeline are costly. Supply shortages create increased prices, as well as the need to seek out alternatives. Proactive supply chain and logistics managers will ensure they highlight disruptions to their supply chains and create sourcing events to use alternate suppliers.

It is vital for businesses to have one place to connect all of their trading suppliers and partners. Supply managers can better navigate changing marketplace conditions such as coronavirus by utilizing supply chain management systems that enable them to respond to bottlenecks and inventory shortages by:

  • Quickly managing and updating suppliers through a single portal
  • Offering more frequent and quality interactions with partners and hence a more coordinated planning and execution strategy
  • Enabling managers to see and manage their entire global supply network from virtually any desktop or mobile device
  • Giving access to every communication, transaction and supplier record consolidated in one place, helping managers confidently deal with urgent issues
  • Automating workflows and communications from purchasing to payment to achieve a more efficient manage-by-exception environment

The success of mid-market enterprises is fueled by efficient, integrated and aligned supply chain operations. If your business could benefit from our superior Supply Chain Orchestration™, reach out today.
