OUR PERSPECTIVE
- Improvements are needed. Organizations around the world recognize the need for supply chain improvements – whether it’s controlling costs, reducing risk or improving resilience. Regardless of industry, location or challenges, there is an overwhelming emphasis on the need for better use of technology, greater collaboration with supply chain partners and the use of timely and accurate data.
- Consider the compliant factor. Compliance plays a role in nearly every part of the supply chain. As a result, gaps within DG management processes can negatively affect the entire supply chain, exacerbating existing challenges and limiting improvement efforts. Compliance may not always be top of mind for executives, but they cannot afford to overlook its impact on their organizations.
- Meaningful improvement doesn’t have to be difficult. The results of the 7th annual 2022 Global Dangerous Goods Confidence Outlook highlighted the need to improve DG processes, training, technology and infrastructure. The good news is that making meaningful improvements does not have to be difficult or require significant investment.
