Addressing the last link in the supply chain

1st April 20081 Comment

A recent article by Supplychainstandard.com talks about how the adoption of a sound strategy at the port-to-destination leg of the supply chain can have a direct impact on the amount and position of inventory, accuracy of forecasting, availability of product at DC, store or manufacturing line, and ultimately the level of sales of the receiving organisation.

Some key points from the article are about the effort involved in transporting goods from destination port to inland DC and how it accounts for as much as 35 per cent of total end-to-end supply chain costs. It suggests that a new approach is needed. Also, that P2D logistics looks at the chain as a single entity and allows dynamic and joined up destination- centric decisions that drive out cost, improve agility, and offset the impact of congestion
