The heightened need for PPE and expedited timeline stressed the supply chain and left the manufacturer unclear how to move forward efficiently.

Like most things in life, supply chains are easier to manage when they’re predictable. Of course, supply chain predictability is not always possible — and it certainly is not the reality for one packaging manufacturer, whose low-volume freight involves irregular, last-minute shipments and short lead times. Freight turnaround is fast and often coupled with high service requirements, such as special equipment to move loads.

Over the course of a year, a technology manufacturer would lose between two and four loads. Multiply that by 10 years and it equates to millions in lost revenue and a decrease in customer confidence. Done with sub-par cargo security, the manufacturer knew it needed to find and implement a solution that focused on prevention and detection.

A supply chain analysis conducted by a team of Schneider experts optimized and improved business success for a national beverage company by creating logistics efficiencies.
