In this expert column, Richard Gray, president of Gray Growth Logistics, provides five questions you should ask when looking for the right 3PL partner.

2021 started off with supply chain disruption after supply chain disruption. From the Suez Canal blockage and natural disasters to ransomware attacks and an industry-wide labor shortage, the supply chain industry is having to prove its resiliency over and over again.

To achieve this, we must be able to share data, create smaller work teams and incentivize quality,” Shone says. “Navigating risk management may seem like an overwhelming task; however, taking simple steps and collaborating with suppliers and logistics providers will lead to key results. Include partners in risk management planning and work with them to develop robust SOPs that support your firm’s strategy and goals.” Scan the QR code now to read the full interview.
