Debunking common disadvantages

Feedback to disadvantage's

I think it's important to start out that not all disadvantage's can be fixed or debunked. No system is perfect and there will always be issues. However dwindling these problems down to smaller ones can be done.

When it comes to political, economic, and environmental instability most people don't realize the real reason these things happen. The majority of the time it's on the Supply Chain not being structured properly. Or having a built in plan in place for when things like this occur. Being able to stay on your feet and pivot when different things like this happen is part of SC responsibility.

When you struggle with communication others speaking different languages it shouldn't be a problem in today's day and age. If you don't have a translator there are a ton of apps that can help you understand what others are saying. Also when hiring company's like to look for people who are diverse in other languages for dealing with deals from other non English countries.

Being prepared for harder levels and more expertise in your supply chain should be common place, You should commonly be searching for better and better workers and giving incentives to employees who go above and beyond. I think it's important to look months if not years ahead of time and be ready for what is to come.

Finally, when it comes to different laws and regulations I find it common sense to know what they are. If your job is to be dealing with these people you should know what standards and laws state.

Second advantage involves the ability to expand different sourcing opportunities. Globalization makes it possible for business's to get diverse and hard working people, along with materials and products around the world. Products are extremely important because we couldn't always reach out or ship things that today might take two days. Amazon prime and the ability for possible drones in the future make it that much more exciting to me. Next is the availability you have to give your customers a larger variety of goods and services. If globalization is going to increase your sourcing opportunities like i

The other side of the coin

Disadvantages  With advantages always comes disadvantages and when it comes to the supply chain and globalization there in no outlier. I have three or four that I want to talk about in this post. A large disagreement people like to talk about is political, economic, and environmental instability. "These issues can cause difficulties sourcing the products, materials, and supplies you need when businesses have to close down or are unable to transport goods. This can lead to you not having enough inventory to fulfill customers demand and can hurt both your sales and customers satisfaction."(Donohoe) Problems could also arise where particular customers may have ordered a product but haven't received it yet. An may never receive it at all if it comes to a close or full shutdown. The next one is particular language and communication barriers. Could be difficult to set up meetings and talk to the other side directly. Issues of being misheard could occur as well. This migh
