Be ready for anything by adding more agility, efficiency and technology into your end-to-end supply chain.

Nearly 250 years ago, John Spilsbury, a renowned map engraver, mounted one of his maps onto wood, cut around the countries and handed the pieces to schoolchildren as a learning aid for geography education. And just like that, jigsaw puzzles were invented. Since then, these puzzles have evolved into both a source of entertainment and frustration for the games enthusiasts who use them. Completing a puzzle requires time, focus, patience, strategy, skill and determination. This is a lot like global supply chains today. The difference is, for logistics, the completed picture is a supply chain that keeps cargo flowing seamlessly, reliably and with greater resilience. So, how do you create this picture? Though there are indeed thousands of smaller tiles that make up the entire logistics puzzle, there are three key pieces that you need in place to make your supply chain be ready for anything.

The three key pieces are: 1. Agility 2. Efficiency 3. Technology

In this guide, we’ ll explore each of these pieces in detail, highlighting challenges and priorities, as well as offering insights on potential solutions to help you complete the puzzle.
