Supply chain management is constantly evolving and the ways to improve it are numerous. From automation, faster shipping, and circular logistics there are a variety of ways in which the supply chain is being improved on and optimized. Additionally, logistics providers should also strive to improve their risk management strategies for their supply chain. This has never been more relevant than in the years after the pandemic.
