RoadSigns Podcast
Exploring the trends and technologies that are shaping the future of trucking.
Happy Friday!
Today, we're uncovering the common challenges that trucking companies face in parts sourcing and inventory management. First, we'll take a closer look at issues like product availability and just-in-time inventory systems. Then, we'll explore how to build strong relationships with your suppliers, the future role of e-commerce platforms, and the evolving skill sets that fleet managers need to adapt to supply chain trends. Let's dive in.?
One of the main hurdles in parts supply chain management is the ongoing issue of product availability. Despite advances, many fleets still struggle with holding vehicles down due to the unavailability of commonly used parts. This problem is exacerbated by many fleets adopting just-in-time inventory programs, which can increase downtime when parts aren't readily available.?
Factors such as investment costs, obsolescence, and loss further complicate the decision to maintain large on-hand stock inventories. So, how can you avoid such hurdles? In this special episode, we find answers with Cox Automotive Inc. 's Kevin Clark. Tune in now to see how dynamic parts management can transform your fleet services.
