Supply chain managers, how can coordinating with multiple stakeholders resolve a logistics issue?

Question

Georgina Fenning · Accepted Answer

When internal obstacles, challenges, or changes occur, it is equally important to address and communicate to all affected parties involved in the logistics (warehousing and distribution) of material.
Some receiving docks have a limited number of doors, specific to size and what type of transportation it can accommodate (Trailer, Flat Deck, Van ect...). For this purpose, a carefully planned out inbound receiving schedule is critical, to avoid over booking vehicles of the same size, at the same time. I can recall an instance where a minor adjustment in production was not communicated to the logistics group, where they were not able to notify affected parties in advance. This resulted in a backed-up line up of trucks and trailers, waiting for receiving doors to be able to accommodate their size, and off load.
To avoid this from happening in the future, any internal changes were to be communicated to the logistics group, so they are able to redirect and/or reschedule the inbound deliveries.
