Linking supply chain news with dangerous goods compliance
Keeping goods moving safely, compliantly and on time — even when disruptions arise and demand surges — is imperative for businesses. That’s why so many are placing greater emphasis on supply chain resilience.
Let’s examine some recent industry news.

OUR PERSPECTIVE
- Supply chain resilience is harder for DG shippers. Keeping goods moving in the face of supply chain disruptions has become increasingly difficult, especially for businesses shipping DG because of the additional complexity and regulatory requirements. Having comprehensive DG management processes and infrastructure in place is critical to maintaining safe, compliant, and efficient supply chain operations.
- Establish repeatable DG shipping processes. By establishing repeatable DG shipping processes and leveraging DG shipping technology, organizations can put in place robust business continuity steps that allow them to ship DG from multiple locations. This not only helps ensure consistent compliance across locations or business units that regularly ship DG but provides flexibility to shift DG processes and shipping to other locations when customer demands change or disruptions arise.
- Creating an Efficient and Resilient DG Supply Chain. Becoming more automated and consistent in your DG processes boils down to a few key components: 1. Having the right product information; 2. Ensuring the right processes are in place (at multiple locations); 3. Making your processes as efficient as possible; 4. Enabling proper deployment and adjusting as needed.
