Here are a few tips to keep your supply chain business running during a global pandemic: 

  • Diversifying the basket

If the pandemic continues to disrupt the supply of raw materials which are needed for many and varying products, it will be a lot more challenging to sustain business. Longer lead times will drive your customers to other alternative solutions and retrieving them again will be a difficult task. This requires you to seek alternative sources for your products to keep the operations of your business running. Make a list of suppliers based on their geographic location and carefully evaluate critical factors to find out the one that offers the best value for your operation. 

  • Warehouse Management

Warehouse Management

Tracking your inventory movement is essential to reduce lead time and speed up inventory management. A perfect warehouse management software ensures sharing forecasts, demands, material requirements, and new product information, allowing reduced inventory level and cost. There are several warehouse management solutions to keep you updated on the entire inventory management process, from demand forecast to facing customers and constraints. 

  • Moving to Cloud System

Moving to Cloud System

Automation in industries after the pandemic will likely move operations of small and medium enterprises to the Cloud System or IoT to track inventory, purchases, and sharing information from producers to distributors. The cloud will enable manufacturers to expand their business, reduce costs, forecast future/new demand, optimize performance, reduce lead-time, and create a centralized knowledge database.

  • Balancing Supply Chain Logistics

Balancing Supply Chain Logistics

Besides hampering your overall sales supply chain interruption is likely to divert your customers adversely. The supply chain requires a multidimensional approach for transportation according to the transit time-play of shipment. Active transport is critical to supply chain management to meet demands.

  • Communication between Suppliers, Vendors, and Customers

How to protect your supply chain business from COVID-19

An open channel of communication is essential to get on-time information about what is going on in the manufacturing process, shipping delays, expectations of your customers, changes in production, and adjustment of prices. Your business should be agile and positioned in a way to keep the concerned parties satisfied.

Bottom Line

Businesses need to rapidly assess, recover, and respond to the challenges that have arisen due to the COVID-19 outbreak. The above tips are just a few essential ones to protect your business supply chain from an unprecedented occurrence. A resilient, sustainable supply chain will also save your business for years to come.
