永續供應鏈的在岸和近岸外包

了解供應鏈對於希望實現永續製造實踐並實現淨零碳排放目標的企業至關重要。供應鏈對於製造商和分銷商至關重要，但它們可能很複雜且不可靠。

Unfortunately, there’s no easy way to fix supply chain instability. Making a supply chain sustainable is also a long process. What may be more feasible, however, is attempting to reimagine how these workflows operate — and onshoring or nearshoring 可能就是答案。

How Do Onshoring and Nearshoring Impact Sustainability Measures?

Onshoring is when all supplies are sourced from the manufacturer’s home country. Onshoring improves the control companies have over their parts, production schedules, and quality. It also allows companies capitalise on sustainability by improving their carbon footprint.

Nearshoring is similar to onshoring, but it instead involves sourcing materials from neighbouring countries. It still lowers supply chain risk by cutting transport time and it enables closer cooperation between parties.

那麼，在岸和近岸外包如何帶來實際、永續的成果呢？

1. 本地化採購減少了運輸

零件和材料不必透過在岸或近岸運輸那麼遠。這減少了對多種運輸方式的需求，特別是貨機和船舶等碳排放量大的運輸方式。

考慮到 全球溫室氣體排放量17% 來自貨物運輸，本地採購是實現永續製造的好方法。

2. 生產變得更靈活

由於供應鏈的原因，生產計劃經常被打亂。物流流程需要很長時間來規劃，如果中斷，可能會造成混亂。

由於本地化您的來源會縮短您的供應鏈，您將有更多的空間來研究和開發您的生產流程。

This more demand-centric model allows businesses to quickly respond to problems, cut waste, and better serve consumers. This then frees up business to use sustainable manufacturing practices.

3. 供應鏈變得更人性化

在岸和近岸外包的主要優勢之一是它們透過更密切的溝通和協作將供應鏈合作夥伴團結起來並集中在一個共同的目標上。

這樣您的供應鏈就會變得更透明。此外，與其他企業合作對於減少製造業的碳排放至關重要。
