***2008 Global Trade/Supply Chain
Predictions***
When considering the global trade environment in 2008 there are a
number potential issues looming that can disrupt global supply chains,
sourcing strategies, and the flow of working capital. If not properly
addressed, importers and exporters may face significant unexpected costs
and increased disruptions to their supply chain. But the news for 2008
isn't all bad. A number of promising opportunities exist as well.
"Green" Continues to Grow. Public health and environmental concerns
will remain a major issue. Continued attention on global warming,
lead-based paints and the contamination of goods will drive businesses
toward environmentally friendly packaging, recyclable products, and the
enforcement of trade regulations pertaining to the use of toxic
electrical and electronic components. The concept of having a green
supply chain will move from being a public relations strategy to a
necessary means of deriving real economic value and improving
compliance. As companies focus on supply chain and product lifecycle
management initiatives in this environmental light, concepts that will
be embraced include the designing of products derived from recycled
materials; striving for 'zero waste' from a product at end-of-life; and
employing sourcing and fulfillment strategies based on less fuel
consumption and the environmental practices of supply chain partners.
