The transition between each of these channels should be seamless, and all channels should work together to create a single, continuing experience to customers. But, how do supply chain leaders and managers ensure their omnichannel supply chain is working.

Order supplies too early, and you’ll have to carry excess inventory for weeks or months. This will put you at risk of inventory deterioration and obsolescence. It can also drive up your storage, cooling, and insurance costs. Order supplies closer to when you’ll actually need them, and you’ll keep inventory costs lower—but you’ll run the risk of having your production grind to a halt because of a simple shipping delay.

It’s been more than 15 years since most Tier 1 TMS systems were designed, and today’s TMS landscape is riddled with bloated and rigid TMS systems – none of which can accurately or fully manage your current needs. You wouldn’t work with 15 year-old accounting software or cell phone technology. So why trust your logistics to a TMS designed for another era?

The Emerging Role of Optimization in Business Decisions. For many, there was a point in the past when the idea of “optimization” used to summon images of Greek letters juxtaposed in odd arrangements kept in black boxes that spewed out inscrutable results. Optimization was sometimes considered a subject best left to impractical theorists, sequestered in small cubicles deep in the bowels of the building to which few paths led and from which there were no paths out.

When a worker's alertness levels are affected, the incident rate of errors dramatically increases. These costly mistakes can result in grave injuries or even death. So, if you're an employee coming to work feeling exhausted and worn out, you could be at serious risk.

If logistics outsourcing was such a winning strategy, why isn’t every company doing it, and why is it that so many logistics outsourcing partnerships terminate prematurely? The answers to both of these questions may well be connected not with the true value of logistics outsourcing as a concept, but with the frequency at which companies make mistakes when planning and implementing outsourcing initiatives.
