The root cause of logistical problems between the production plant and its customers but even more with sub-suppliers is the ambiguity of the conditions of cooperation – frequency of EDI communication, flexibility of deliveries, “lead time”, communication language and tools, missing back-up procedures, penalties for logistics claims, etc..
Logistics protocol is a tool requested during logistics audits and its preparation and standardization may help the supplier avoid many issues and continuously improve the existing standard.
