Supply shortage, high demand; higher costs result. West coast refinery and pipeline shutdowns are spurring this situation at this juncture. But that’s today’s tale, the concern is more concrete: any additional supply interruptions, any one or more infrastructural, geopolitical, eco-political will further impact the supply-demand quotient. The impact throughout business and consumer economies domestically will spread via global supply chains to the international marketplace. There’s never a ‘that’s ok’ time for this realization; any time soon would be particularly painful.
So what are you going to do now? Getting ahead of it is a prudent move. Control what you can. One proven impact is to reduce your supply chain costs where it doesn’t hurt – route optimization upfront with freight bill auditing for spend accuracy backend – for your shipments domestically and globally.
