A Study on Navigating Sudden Transportation Disruptions: Strategies for Minimizing Delivery Delays and Quantity Loss in Supply Chains.

Issue Abstract

Abstract
In today's fast-paced corporate climate, supply chain interruptions, particularly those involving transportation, pose substantial issues for organisations around the world. This article looks at successful solutions for mitigating the impact of unanticipated transportation disruptions on delivery schedules and minimising quantity loss in supply chains. Following an extensive analysis of relevant research and case studies, this report highlights key proactive and reactive actions that organisations may implement to strengthen their resilience in the event of transportation interruptions. Proactive efforts include diversifying transit modes and routes, implementing comprehensive risk management frameworks, and building strong supplier relationships.Reactive measures include agile reaction mechanisms, real-time tracking and monitoring systems, and collaborative problem-solving techniques. This paper assists supply chain managers in planning for and managing transportation disruptions, resulting in greater consistency and effectiveness in the way things are done.
Keywords: Quantity loss, delivery schedules, transportation disruptions, supply chain disturbances.
