The particular historical period in which companies find themselves operating, characterized mainly by the new post-pandemic consumption dynamics, by geopolitical instability with the consequent difficulty in finding some raw materials and the increase in their prices, make it increasingly complex to make forecasts and keep the supply chain fluid and elastic.
However, this situation can and must be seen by entrepreneurs as an opportunity to reorganize and make their supply chain more efficient by involving all operators interested in the processes in order to ride the changes instead of passively undergoing them.
The critical issues of the last period of the market have put logistics processes in crisis by bringing out many weaknesses that must be corrected to make the supply chain more agile and effective, precisely in order not to be caught unprepared by the challenges we will have to face in the future.
How can it be improved?
- starting from the analysis of the processes already in place;
- identifying possible improvements;
- evaluating the outsourcing of resources;
- digitizing flows, improving traceability and communication along the supply chain.
An efficient supply chain helps to make the company more organized and competitive, avoiding waste of resources, both in terms of money and time, and consequently providing better solutions to customers. Simplifying to make it more efficient therefore becomes a winning strategy in a complex and changing context.
