Production Delays

Delay in the manufacturing process can be due to a failure of machinery or the unavailability of materials. Other factors include severe weather or labor going on strike. A human error can also cause bottlenecks to emerge in one stage which may cause a problem for another part of the production line. This creates a ripple effect on scheduled deliveries. Manufacturing delays can also be caused by poor planning, and over-committing to a client when the processing capabilities are simply not there at the plant. Similarly, if key employees are unable to return to work due to an injury, this too could delay the delivery process.

Warehousing Delays

Another reason for the delay in dispatching orders can be slow processing at the warehouse. The equipment can be really heavy and staff might still be using outdated methods to move items from one location to the other. This is why it’s important to upgrade to better methods like using air beams, lift decks, and lifting jacks. This will also reduce the chances of your staff getting injured.

Shipping Delays

Issues with loading or unloading of goods onto carriers or ships can also cause delays. Make sure you work with a shipping provider that uses state-of-the-art tools to move equipment so that they can load the items on their ship faster and in a secure manner.

Also, make sure you have a tracking number for any package shipped from a warehouse. This way, if there are delays due to weather conditions, you’ll be able to monitor its progress online so that you know when it will arrive at its destination.
