In the contemporary business landscape, strategic approaches like nearshoring and reshoring are back in the limelight. These are aimed at achieving reduced lead times, improved grip over supply chain operations, avoiding geographical difficulties, quicker response times, reduced transportation costs, improved supply chain risk management, etc. By bringing supply chains closer (physically), companies can exercise better control over their supply chains. Here, the emphasis is on the ‘physical’ proximity. Although communication is not an issue physical proximity offers a better grip.

Supplies can offer a wide range of flexibilities to make supply chains more resilient and agile. However, this can work only on mutually beneficial grounds. Per se, suppliers may have no compelling reason to align or change their internal working to suit the business requirements of their clients. Small changes might be entertained but any major change will be rejected. Finding common interests is the key here as the company-supplier relationship is that of growth partners in respective ways.

The quality of supply chain design has immediate ramifications on 𝘀𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗹𝘆 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝗿𝗲𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗹 and eCommerce. The idea is to keep the supply chain design simple and sorted for better management and identifying and implementing improvisations easier. This can be done by breaking down supply chains into manageable units. Also, retail inventory control strategies must be re-assessed from time to time. Technology also plays an important role in supply chain design improvement.

The pressure on 𝗿𝗲𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗹 𝗯𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗱𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗯𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗲𝘀 is mounting every year to align with the prevalent standards of sustainability and ethical sourcing. The essence here is not becoming sustainable because governments, customers, climate activists, or the media want it; sustainability is something that every responsible entity must stand for and demonstrate. In the event of any regulatory force coming into action to make companies align with sustainability objectives, there might not be enough time to start the process from zero.
