How Agile is your Supply Chain?


What are they key attributes that contribute to a resilient supply chain and how do I evaluate them? How do I compare to others? Do I need to take action? Where?

Answering these questions can be difficult due to the highly complex and non-linear nature of supply chains and supply chain planning processes.

Breaking down key planning processes into well-defined steps with essential inputs and outputs can add value and form the basis for implementing strategies to refine data, systems and processes to drive an agile supply chain in the face of uncertainty and disruptions.

IMPROVING VISIBILITY AND SAFETY IN THE COLD CHAIN

Whether you’re transporting or storing food and beverages, medical products or hazardous chemicals, having strict control and visibility over environmental parameters such as temperature, humidity and light exposure is vital to ensure product quality from origin to destination.

Logistics providers must satisfy prevailing compliance requirements during storage and transportation activities to ensure product safety and effectiveness from source to customer. This has become even more crucial with the distribution of life saving COVID-19 vaccines throughout Australia.

Using non-compliant practices including inadequate devices to monitor temperature-sensitive goods leaves the potential for errors and safety concerns to arise, creates a burden for staff and significantly increases business costs and compromises consumer safety.

Join us for an insightful discussion on how technology is improving safety in the cold chain, enabling companies to protect their customers while enhancing profitability.

This Webinar will explore:

  • Boosting safety and compliance, and reducing costs with temperature-monitoring sensors
  • Reducing downtime with rugged mobile devices that are specialised for use in extreme temperatures
  • Vaccine mismanagement and wastage due to insufficient monitoring protocols
  • Collaboration among all aspects of the supply chain to ensure constant visibility over products
