kapoklog Logistics Supply Chain Knowledge Adjusting to ‘pre-new normal’

  kapoklog Logistics Supply Chain Knowledge   Adjusting to ‘pre-new normal’ Adjusting to ‘pre-new normal’ I read a white paper* recently that spoke of a ‘pre-new normal’ and I think it summarises perfectly where we’re at currently. It claimed businesses and their supply chains won’t transition to the ‘new normal’ immediately as its shape is not yet clear, the outlines are there, but not the detail.  It spoke of how, in this interim pre-new normal phase, resilience, demand, transportation, workplace operation practices and other warehousing-related topics would become critical issues. And we’re certainly seeing evidence of that as distribution centres (DCs) and warehouses juggle to meet increased demand in online shopping with an ailing workforce and legacy technology. A survey† in April revealed that 59% of warehouse operators were ill or in quarantine, often necessitating agency staff to be brought in. And while we probably don’t have that level of infection ri...

It's time for greener working practices in the manufacturing sector

  It's time for greener working practices in the manufacturing sector The UK is the  ninth largest manufacturer  in the world, with the sector employing more than 2.7 million people. However, UK manufacturers have been grappling with a skills shortage in recent years. As of 2019, 81% of manufacturers were reporting difficulties finding people, according to a survey conducted by the British Chambers of Commerce. If organisations in the sector want to position themselves as employers of choice, and attract the highest skilled talent, they need to demonstrate that they share in the values, and understand the expectations and concerns of  their current and prospective employees. While Covid-19 is currently front of mind for most employees, our research indicates that these other, long-term expectations and concerns still exist among employees  – and should not be ignored. Earlier this year, we observed a growing number of manufacturing workers were raising the topic...

kapoklog Logistics Supply Chain Knowledge Can warehouse management systems transform port operations?

  Can warehouse management systems transform port operations? Due to the demands of the global economy, warehouses have evolved and become increasingly important in the flow of B2B and B2C goods.  Whereas in 2010 warehouses were regarded as a cost centre, today they are strategic e-commerce hubs and play a central role in complex supply chains. The ability to store goods within a port warehouse is highly valuable, because it reduces the need to transport inbound goods onto a separate DC. Keeping inbound goods in situ cuts out unnecessary air / freight miles, emissions and costs, and can significantly streamline some supply chain processes. Now, as warehouse space dries up due to the changes of demand caused by Coronavirus, seaports are becoming busier than ever at providing a storage service, especially for retailers with inbound containers full of inventory. A warehouse management system (WMS) can potentially transform warehouse operations at ports, allowing them gain additio...

Dealing with excess inbound inventory – advice for the apparel industry

  Dealing with excess inbound inventory – advice for the apparel industry What’s classed as ‘essential’ now, amidst the COVID-19 lockdown, is very subjective. Just a few weeks ago, high fashion clothing would have fallen into this category for many people but today, with consumers in just about every country in the world required to stay at home, that’s all changed. Who needs make up, posh handbags and heels now? Ever quick to spot a commercial opportunity, even Kylie Jenner is posting about comfy jumpsuits as the latest in social isolation style - ideal for Zoom calls with the family and lounging at home. Many retailers don’t know what to do with all their spring summer 2020 stocks, which are now arriving by the container load. Some were hoping that the disruption in China would mean their original stock orders wouldn’t actually materialise – but they are. According to UKWA, garment warehouses in particular are literally bursting at the seams with inbound stock because of falling ...
