Causing terrible damages to the company, which represent loss of money and resources.

Avoid falling into them before it is too late. Find out which are the most common logistic problems in the warehouse:

Common for all

Well, no, not all the resources we have to manage have to be stored on conventional shelves, although they “adapt” due to their weight and size.

If we are not lucky enough to store homogeneous load units in terms of size, weight and shape, we must carry out the relevant analysis which, taking into account the logistical properties of the references to be managed and/or their nature, makes it possible to dedicate the means, the handling resources, the installations and the PPE adapted to all the storage needs that each set of articles will need.

Continue to see the repository as a “separate” entity

One of the causes is perhaps the zeal we have with the flow of information that we consider “sensitive” for our organization, because the true adhesion of the supply chain is inspired precisely by the information sharing.

The supplier has a better understanding of their procurement or construction lead times and lead times, and with complete, real-time visibility into our own inventory needs, they can supply to us more efficiently and at a lower price than we can.

Failure to use a culture of continuous optimization.

Since the true fixation of continuous optimization involves an extreme and total cultural change in the organization.

An organization with twenty employees and one person responsible for making improvements, assuming that it manages to maintain a rhythm of one optimization action per month, implements twelve per year, and that it accepts that each of them is famous.

What is contract manufacturing?

Usually contract manufacturing is used when a company is searching for a new approach on how operates its business. It consists in the hiring of a third-party production company to provide some services of a component production, either that you use it for your product or a finished good.
 

What about the 3PL services?

That’s exactly one of the services that a contract manufacturer can provide to be a more complete ally. Logistics is one of the toughest challenges if you are administrating a business and even more when we are talking about an international company.

Well, there is one solution for making these processes and the supply chain process easier. There is a certain number of contract manufacturers that are starting to offer also a number of third-party solutions, this way you will only have to worry about your corporate decisions and not the operational.
 

What are the benefits of using a contract manufacturer?

We are going to make this one easy and quick: You will have high quality product with fewer costs than doing it by yourself. One clear example is the use of kitting in Mexico.

And some other benefits can be that you are going to cut your times in getting a product at your client’s facilities or production times, if a component is the only thing that you want the expert to manufacture and if you are looking for a JIT/JIS solution.

Its 2022, organizations that don’t start looking for viable solutions to the inflation and economic changes will start to disappear and there is no better benefit that keeping your business intact through tough times.
 

Okay, but why in Mexico?

Many companies are starting to turn their eyes at contract manufacturers and many others BPO services in Mexico because of its alignment with the contract manufacturing philosophy.

You will get an efficient, productive and cheap workforce that is also being pushed by other trade laws in order to make the imports and exports of production components and finished goods easier.

What’s been going on lately with climate change?

First, to understand the connection between this environment problem and the logistics of the organizations around the world, we need to put you in some context for what’s been going on. The temperature of the planet has been increasing in an abrupt way and it can be related to all one simple cause: the increase in the CO2 levels around the world.

High emission levels can be caused by high production process, burn of oil gas and coal and some other reasons. That could be one of the reasons for manufacturing companies to start using kitting in their process.
 

How is affecting the supply chain?

Well is not climate change directly what’s affecting the supply chain but its effects what is disrupting the logistics around the world. We all know that increasing the world temperature is the key that leads to a whole lot of problems, let’s see how are they changing what companies do to not affect their supply chain. Here are two examples.
 

Fewer resources around the world.

With the change of seasons and increase of demand, the free resources from the nature are already starting to run out, just look at the state of Nuevo Leon in Mexico and their water scarcity. You will think that this would only affect the consumer but at the end of the day companies also use resources for their operation.

Now it will be a supply chain challenge to get these resources for the organizations. Some will start to look for a supplier development.
 

Products are tougher and expensive to transport.

With run out of resource like gasoline and some transports being closed due to their impacts on the environment, there is only matter of time when companies start looking for modern and less toxic transportation methods.

The problem it would be that when you start a new method of everything, not only transport, is usually expensive and far away from being perfect. With something with no room for error, like the supply chain, it would be so tough to introduce alternatives in the logistics of the businesses.
 

The importance of a 3PL to face this threat.

Obviously, as a human point of view, there is a lot of room for actions that need to be taken as a consumer to prevent more chaos that derivates from the environment damage. As a business point of view, now is the time to leave all the logistics responsibilities to a third-party expert, only this way you will still have profits in such an unstable time.
