🚚 Wednesday’s Storm: When Logistics Faces the Edge
By midweek, OmniTech’s supply chain crisis hit logistics. A massive spring storm halted a third of inbound shipments, highways were closed, and their tracking system went dark. But Carmen Mendoza, Head of Logistics, didn’t panic—she executed a bold pivot to air freight, rerouted deliveries, andtackled customs delays, all while battling fuel cost surges.
Her biggest insight? Crisis management starts before the crisis.
Carmen’s resilience playbook included:
✈️ Multi-modal backup plans
🔒 Redundant tracking systems
🛃 Fast-track customs protocols
⛽ Fuel cost hedging
📊 Real-time cost justification for leadership
Takeaway:
Logistics isn’t just about moving goods—it’s about anticipating disruption and acting fast with a plan already in place.
