Small distributors and manufacturers often think that their shipping strategies are already perfect and that they do not need any alterations or adjustments. But, many of these companies fail to consider that if unexpected problems or changes occur, they could be left very exposed. Sometimes, such problems and changes can be devastating for small distributors and manufacturers. Is your company prepared to handle such issues?
Are any changes on the horizon for small distribution and manufacturing shipping?
There are a number of signs that indicate that significant changes could be on the way for this industry. In fact, there is a “transportation bloodbath” going on right now in America. A large number of trucking companies have gone bankrupt due to this bloodbath. Further, over 2,500 truck drivers lost their jobs in 2019. Additionally, ongoing tensions between the U.S. and China over trade policies, and now the 2019 Novel Coronavirus are threatening to cause a lot of disruption. These developments and others have the potential to dramatically impact the shipping industry. Small distributors and manufacturers could be heavily impacted by these changes.
Does your company have a plan to handle these disruptions?
Even tried and tested shipping strategies that have worked for a long time may fail in new market circumstances. Your company definitely needs a contingency plan. If you don’t have one in place, you should get one ASAP! Top companies understand this and get prepared by making sure they have contingency plans before crises happen.
Setting up a contingency plan
Many companies have no idea how to create a contingency plan. The top priority when you are setting up a contingency plan is to research prices and to look for qualified vendors. When you are creating your plan you also need to consider factors such as overflow support, turnover, staff adjustments, and seasonal adjustments.
