5 Fundamentals of Supply Chain Resilience

Evaluate how different models of freight companies perform when measured against the criteria for resilience

即使在正常市场,物流是一个high-pressure field of work. 2020 has been anything but normal. Q2 of 2020 was the most volatile quarter in modern freight history.

Finally, we address how supply chain leaders can improve resilience in their freight operations without sacrificing performance.
