OUR PERSPECTIVE
- Apply lessons learned from the past year. The past year spotlighted the need for increased automation, better data, greater visibility and enhanced training – across all areas of the supply chain, including DG management. These needs cannot be overlooked as companies look to keep pace with the changing and complex supply chain landscape.
- DG will still be regulated. While no one knows exactly what the next year will bring, one thing we can count on is that DG will still be regulated. Regulations may change but compliance will remain a critical part of the supply chain. Organizations that take steps to safe and compliant DG shipments across the supply chain position themselves to keep goods moving and adapt to disruptions in the new year.
- Improving compliance doesn’t have to be difficult. Many organizations have DG process and infrastructure gaps that must be addressed moving forward. Here are four practical steps to creating a better DG supply chain.
- Technology: Automate DG operations and establish reliable processes across the supply chain.
- Training: Utilize gamification or 3D training experiences to better train and recertify employees.
- Packaging: Utilize new packaging solutions to further improve efficiency, safety and compliance.
- Regulations: Use digital regulatory materials to keep DG professionals up-to-date.
