Frequently asked questions
How can supply chain bottlenecks be avoided?
Proven approaches are flexible supply chains with multiple sources and alternative transport routes, forward-looking inventory planning and close networking with reliable suppliers. If a distributor or a route fails, alternatives are then ready. The procurement of individual parts thus remains independent of individual weak points in the supply chain.
What is a multiple supply chain strategy?
In a multiple supply chain strategy, several suppliers or supply routes are set up in parallel for important parts or material groups. If a supplier cannot deliver or a transport route is blocked, it is possible to switch to alternatives. This increases security of supply and reduces the risk of production stoppages.
How do you recognise a reliable procurement partner for individual parts?
Important characteristics are fast and committed order processing, short lead times, good availability with competent customer service, forward-looking inventory planning and flawless quality of the parts delivered. Transparent communication between the customer, the procurement partner and the transport service providers involved is the basis for a smooth process. Many years of experience in international trade are also a good sign.
How does optimised inventory management reduce logistics costs?
When stock and demand are matched as closely as possible, tied-up capital, warehousing costs and emergency orders decrease. Central warehouse management systems help to consolidate data from different sites and adapt transport routes flexibly. This keeps individual parts available without having to build up unnecessarily large stocks. At the same time, warehouse utilisation is improved.
