How to Avoid Disruptions in Supply Chain Management
Introduction ď‚—
"Supply Chain Management encompasses the planning and management of all activities involved in sourcing and procurement, conversion, and all logistics management activities".
Reasons for Supply Chain Disruption ď‚—
There can be so many different reasons for supply chain disruptions including shortage of funds; natural disasters or unfavorable weather conditions; systemic vulnerabilities such as break down, accident or fuel dependence; and information fragmentation viz cyber crime, vandalism & political unrest.
Monitor Delivery Performance ď‚—
ď‚—
The interruption in the system may also be caused due to the mistakes or lack of proper planning on the supplier's or manufacturer's part. These issues can be avoided with better coordination among different departments and advance preparation for contingencies.
Leverage A Third Party Logistics Company ď‚—
If you don't have your own logistics, prefer to take the services of a professional third party logistics company. Make sure you have enquired about the reputation of the company.
Bring Flexibility at Operational Level ď‚—
Don't restrict your manufacturing plant to producing to one product or part. The capacity and ability to your manufacturing plant to produce more than one type of products helps you reduce the losses from supply chain disruption at the time when your other plant is not operational.
Fast Flow of Communication ď‚—
The cost impact of disruptions on your business can be minimized if you are able to anticipate and respond quickly to the causes that lead to disruptions. For this, you need a free-flowing communication network across different channels of business ranging from the sourcing of raw material to the delivery of end product.
