VOLATILITY AND CHANGE ARE THE NEW NORMAL in logistics and transportation markets and supply chain leaders are constantly challenged with sorting through all the information conning at them. With all that's going on, information blind spots are possible and can hamper good decision-making in critical areas, including inventory allocation and labor usage. And even when the decisions can be made quickly, they're often based on historical data that's no longer relevant- an issue that can quickly snowball into even bigger problems. "The current environment of the rapid speed of change is a core issue that many companies just aren't used to dealing with," says Bob Daymon, head of TM operations at Uber Freight. "For companies with governance over how they change carrier assignments and inventory positions, for example, it can take a long time to change something as fundamental as a routing guide. By the time the change is made, it's already ancient history." |
