In the manufacturing industry, time means production, and production means profit. When a line goes down or output gets stuck, the financial consequences are immediate. But often, the root cause isn’t within the plant, it’s in the logistics.
One of the most common disruptions manufacturers face is a disconnect between production and outbound logistics, especially when operating across borders like the U.S.–Mexico corridor.
Why is logistics important in supply chain management?
It’s a scenario many manufacturers know too well:
🔧 A production run is completed.
🚫 The warehouse is full.
⏳ The truck isn’t available or didn’t arrive.
📉 Result: inventory piles up, processes stall, and orders are delayed.
Things only get worse when dealing with customs paperwork, trailer swaps, or tight schedules. A delay at the dock or border can quickly cascade into missed deadlines and unhappy customers.
