The resilience of supply chains
Resilience is a versatile term these days. In the supply chain sector, resilience refers to the ability to avoid and/or mitigate the effect of certain supply chain disruptions. Supply chain risks can be broken down into operational and disruptive risks. Operational risks occur in daily business and usually cause limited damage (e.g., quality problems or delayed deliveries). Disruptive risks are individual events that are associated with a high potential for damage and a high degree of uncertainty. Such events as natural disasters or geopolitical conflicts can occur unexpectedly and cause long-lasting disruptions and delays.

Driving Efficiency in Airfreight Logistics Planning with Adaptive Tender Support

Air cargo transportation plays a crucial role in the global economy with an estimated 35% of value of global trade carried by air, even though it covers less than 1% by volume according to IATA. Despite its higher cost, airfreight provides unparalleled speed and reliability, ensuring critical and high-value components are delivered promptly to avoid production delays and to lower capital employed in transit stock. It serves as a vital complement to the regular sea freight transport, offering a solution for urgent shipments and maintaining supply chain continuity in unforeseen circumstances.
