Logistics encompasses all the phases that a product goes through from its origin to the final consumer. Along these stages may occur problems and unforeseen events that culminate in damages to the organization and may affect the consumer experience. That is why a good planning and structuring of the supply chain, and its inherent operations, is indispensable for a proper functioning of the organization! But, after all, do you know the main problems of the logistics sector? What are the most frequent mistakes? How do they happen? And how can they be avoided? We have selected the main logistics mistakes that, along with your partner of choice, you can avoid in your business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Communication Deficit<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    The flow of data and information that daily feed a company is very high. In an area as dynamic as logistics, delays or misunderstandings in the exchange of information may interfere with the synergistic performance of teams and, consequently, jeopardize the processes and its results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    1. Incorrectly Predicting Demand<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      It is essential to know the market in depth in order to anticipate possible peaks in demand, namely during seasonal times (Black Friday, Easter, Christmas, Children’s Day…), since the flow of business can be directly impacted, leading to opportunities and revenue losses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \n
      1. Skip the stock<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

        Stock management is a key point to consider as it influences product price and business profitability significantly. A lack of organization can generate several problems, such as waste, deviations and losses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        The solution may involve analyzing the consumer’s profile and their purchasing pattern and carrying out prudent stock management through constant monitoring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          \n
        1. Lack of Planning<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

          The absence of risk analysis, about positive and negative points in relation to certain logistical processes, may cause unnecessary risks and losses. Effective planning will allow you to monitor your business performance and thus reduce costs, improve transport deadlines, increase productivity, create new business opportunities and retain customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            \n
          1. Considering Supply Chain a Fixed Structure<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

            Supply chain is adaptable and adjustable according to circumstances, for this reason it is essential to understand all the processes of each stage that influence other elements and may cause disturbances. This dynamism implies that managers are aware and prepared in order to choose the best solutions and alternatives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

              \n
            1. Absence of Standardized Processes<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

              Supply chain is made up of several processes that are previously stipulated, but, at the same time, these can also be dynamic. The existence of a pre-established flow allows a greater control over each stage and thus determines the most appropriate solutions in case of unforeseen events, avoiding unforeseen events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                \n
              1. Reduced Investment in Technology<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

                Technology, in addition to allow monitoring each stage of the process, provides security, reduces the risk of errors, inconsistencies, deviations and human losses, optimizes time, increases accuracy and consequently visibility and productivity – including all logistical processes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
