Frequently asked
What is the manufacturing supply chain?
The manufacturing supply chain begins with sourcing materials and facilitates the transportation through all the processing steps required to get a finished product to the customer. It involves partnering with multiple vendors for sourcing, production, packaging, transportation, warehousing and distribution.
How does the manufacturing supply chain work?
The manufacturing supply chain involves moving materials along multiple routes. The finished product for one process may be used as a material for the next. Once the different components have been assembled, the finished product is packaged for distribution and retail. Thus, along with transportation, managing documentation, inventory and warehousing are also important aspects of managing the supply chain.
How to improve the manufacturing supply chain?
Many stages of the manufacturing supply chain are interdependent. Thus, a delay in the delivery of one component may hold up the entire production cycle. Partnering with a shipment management platform like BuyCo helps improve visibility and control over the shipping operation to minimize such delays. It brings all the supply chain players onto a common platform. Shippers can compare carrier routes and choose the best schedule, manage documentation centrally and access real-time container tracking information to streamline supply chain management.
How to improve visibility in the manufacturing supply chain?
Maintaining visibility and control over the manufacturing supply chain begins with bringing all players onto a common platform like BuyCo. This makes it easier to request, share and store data and documents centrally and keep information from getting lost in email inboxes. BuyCo also provides access to real-time container tracking information and allows shippers to share this information with other parties.
