Delivery challenges can be managed effectively by: Regular check-ins with suppliers being scheduled to ensure adherence to timelines. Inventory levels being monitored closely to avoid stockouts. Alternative suppliers being identified to mitigate risk if primary vendors face issues. Prioritization of high-risk shipments being considered to address urgent needs first.
-
One way to protect yourself from recurring delivery issues is to diversify your supplier portfolio. By having multiple suppliers, you reduce the risk of product non-delivery, your dependence on any single supplier, and your financial risk. For example, prioritize suppliers based in different countries, as delivery problems can be caused by transportation issues, as we saw with maritime freight in 2020/1.
