GTL Findings
Through years of experience, Global Trade Logistics has observed that customs and
logistics functions are often non-integrated, thus resulting in non-compliance, delayed shipments, excessive
touch points of both data and documents. Additional findings include:
There is a lack of understanding the science (and art) that make up a true supply chain.
Labor-intensive processes are acted on at the end of the supply chain.
Collecting statistical detail for classification and valuation lacks automation.
Fragmented communications (poor visibility, reactive vs. proactive problem solving).
Paper driven processes and handled vertically.
Slo-based, decentralized control processes.
Concern about implementing current and new government security requirements without supply chain disruption.
There is no need to reinvent the wheel.Global Trade Logistics has the depth and breadth
of experience to help you navigate through potential obstacles to reach optimum supply chain efficiency.
What Is Supply Chain?
Supply Chain is officially defined as the process of planning, implementing and controlling the efficient and cost-effective
flow and storage of raw materials, in-process inventory, finished goods and related information from the point of origin to
the point of consumption for the purpose of conforming to customer requirements.
More simply, it is the science (and art) of ensuring that the right products reach the right place in the right quantity
at the right time to satisfy customer demand.
