Interested in Optimizing Your Supply Chain?
When it comes to optimizing your supply chain, from a packaging perspective, there are a lot of considerations. Optimizing might mean completely different things to different purchasing managers or supply chain managers. For some, optimizing might be all about lowering costs, while others see it as making the overall supply chain healthier. Your supply chain health could revolve around any of the following:
- Transportation costs and reliability
- The overall cost of your lumber or packaging
- Having the “right” packaging to keep your products safe and limit in-transit damage
- Engaging high-quality, dependable vendors and suppliers
Tackling any (or all) of this can be a pretty tall order. Fortunately, we’ve put some resources together that may help.
