U ncertainty continues to dominate global supply chain conversations among companies in the United States and around the world. Solutions- oriented organizations aren’t just throwing up their hands and complaining about it, though—instead, they are focusing on best practices to help navigate the challenges accompanying uncertainty, and even to seek an edge where they can. Uncertainty isn’t merely a buzzword. “It’s the dening challenge for supply chains today,” says Richie Daigle, supply chain evangelist with Tive, a Boston-based provider of real- time supply chain visibility solutions. “Supply chains are more volatile than ever, and disruption is no longer an occasional event, but a constant reality,” Daigle says. “Businesses are navigating cost uctuations, geopolitical instability, labor shortages, and mounting security risks—all while customers demand faster deliveries and complete transparency.” In the face of those demands, global trade requires more sophistication and expertise and a smarter use of resources than ever before. Companies are turning to these nine critical best practices to thrive in today’s unique global trade environment.
