Content: At the same time, different countries and factories set their own quality standards, so you could end up with products that have a lower quality level than desired. You also have to consider additional ethical issues such as poor working conditions and forced labor when you consider your business partners. Language and Communication Barriers
Limitations of international logistics management include having to communicate with companies whose staff might not speak English and who might be many hours ahead or behind you. This can make it difficult to set up meetings, contact companies about delayed or damaged shipments or simply ask questions. When you do interact, you might have misunderstandings on both sides that can cause delays or result in your accepting an agreement with terms you misheard. Harder Supply Chain Planning
From facing challenges finding the right global suppliers to accounting for the risks and uncertainties planning your supply chain, managers can expect to need a higher level of expertise to successfully manage a global supply chain. You'll need to perform careful analysis when considering global business partners so that you get the best supply chain response time and pricing. Not only must you consider potential delays due to issues beyond your control but your planning also has to include factors like the time needed to clear customs and variations in the responsiveness of suppliers and transporters to changing demand. Financial Disadvantages of Logistics Management
The disadvantages of logistics management globally also include the financial impact it can have on your company. While your company might choose a global supply chain to benefit from lower production costs and boost your profits, you also have to consider the extra competition you gain, and you might find you need to lower your prices more to compete.
