[QUOTE="cheryl, post: 5103731, member: 1"] [URL='https://www.ecommercebytes.com/2021/12/13/ups-expert-discusses-holiday-supply-chain-challenges/'][B]UPS Expert Discusses Holiday Supply Chain Challenges E Commerce Bytes[/B][/URL] UPS Principal Scientist Ranganath Nuggehalli discussed holiday supply chain challenges in a new interview released by INFORMS. He also discusses what the shipping carrier is doing to anticipate and respond to the challenges. Nuggehalli said UPS processes about 20 million packages per day on average, but during the holiday season, it jumps significantly – sometimes nearly doubling. Last year, it went up to about 34 million packages per day. “It becomes a challenge because it’s a physical network. So, you have to have enough resources, both physical capacity, people, vehicles, everything to service added capacity.” Planning is key, Nuggehalli said, and that begins right away each January. He also said working with customers is key, especially main customers like Amazon, to collaborate and anticipate demand. [/QUOTE]
