Supply Chain Challenges Affecting the Food Production Companies:
- Identifying the Right Suppliers to Suit Changing Demands
With needs for some products skyrocketing and for others drying up, companies are struggling to adjust their needs amongst different suppliers who can deliver timely and at the right cost.
- Unexpected Supply Delays and Supplier Defaults
Continuing labour shortage is leading to unexpected delays and even defaults from some suppliers. In addition to leading to wasted warehouse costs, this also disrupts the entire production cycles.
- Blocked Cash Flow
Booked cash in advance payments is leading to trouble with financing new orders. For some cases, it means forced interest charges going towards loans as a result of poor cash flow.
The Solution lies in looking at Procurement planning from a new lens.
