Stabilizing the Heaving Cement Industry
While cement logistics complexities mushroomed seemingly overnight, customer demand – in terms of throughput as well as service-level expectations – reached record highs across the globe. As a result, today, mounting supplier and consumer demands, rapidly climbing prices, unanticipated bottlenecks (that result in reduced capacity), network changes, and natural disasters – to name just a few factors – are causing cement supply chain failures more frequently than ever before, devastating bottom lines and wreaking havoc on brand image across businesses of all shapes and sizes.
In this White paper we discuss how companies can implement a failsafe building materials and cement supply chain strategy, which in turn will help predict demand ahead of time and take intelligent make/buy/wait decisions.
