“You can never completely avoid it. There will always be supply chain disruptions.”
Even though China has lifted its zero-Covid policy which had a huge impact on labour shortages in the supply chain, it’s not over yet.
With demonstrations in France and port disruption in Europe and the US, labour shortages are still impacting the supply chain industry.
So how do you navigate it?
Join Ahmed El-Alfy, Strategic Account Manager at Zencargo and Markus Klinge Knudson, Operations Manager at Zencargo as they talk about the ongoing labour shortages that are affecting our supply chains.
They discuss:
- How shippers had to navigate around port strikes such as Felixstowe.
- The impacts labour shortages have on shippers.
- How shippers should be working with their freight forwarding partners to build contingency plans.
