By understanding what a supplier can do during critical times can greatly increase your response time to changes in demand. Skilled supply chain managers will often review lead times, burst capacity, standard capacity and quick turn capabilities with their suppliers to ensure the supplier’s capabilities meet the needs of the company.

It will be impossible to plug every leak, but the government and carriers will likely scramble to do so every time one develops.

Nothing can replace face-to-face communication; by fostering personal relationships with both customers and suppliers, the entire supply chain process will be embraced by all.

  In conclusion it should be noted that while the principles of supply chain logistics still apply in a global environment, the challenges are significantly magnified and the risks are increased. As many firms attempt to take advantage of global sourcing and marketing, there is a growing need for awareness regarding the challenges and infrastructure changes.
