The global supply chain is in a very delicate moment due to an accumulation of factors that are not only putting against the ropes the upcoming big commercial dates, such as Black Friday or Christmas, but also the recovery of the international economy.

In order to shed light on a topic that today affects both producers and consumers, Zschimmer & Schwarz España and Raminatrans have organised the webinar "2021: What is happening in the logistics world?", as part of the Z&S School, the series of seminars promoted by Zschimmer & Schwarz España and the Universitat Jaume I.

Vicente Ramos, CEO of Raminatrans Castellón, and Luis Garrido, Logistics Director of Raminatrans Group, analysed the factors that have led the global economy to this situation. "The outbreak of the pandemic is the first trigger of the situation we are experiencing today," said Ramos. However, since then, what he describes as a "perfect storm" has taken place.

As he explained, to begin with, the confinement provokes an economic and productive standstill. Faced with the impossibility of filling their ships, the shipping lines cancel their calls, which affects the entire route. The subsequent reactivation of the economy causes a massive increase in demand, which the logistics chain cannot manage. Finally, this increase in demand leads to a significant rise in freight rates, as well as a lack of equipment. "The main consequence of this situation are delays in the delivery of goods", confirmed the CEO of Raminatrans Castellón, "and that some sectors are out of supply and cannot continue their activity".

As Albert Marco, Head of Purchasing at Zschimmer & Schwarz Spain and presenter of the webinar remarked, "this whole situation forces companies to look for solutions to alleviate the impact, prevent themselves from an uncertain future and remain competitive in the market". For this reason, the logistics sector is preparing itself by focusing on technology.

Luis Garrido, Logistics Director of Raminatrans Group, specified: "Digitalisation, process automation and integration with customers through ERP or WMS systems will play an essential role in the warehouses of the future".

The Z&S School is a shared project between Zschimmer & Schwarz España and the Universitat Jaume I. Its aim is to share knowledge and create synergies with actors in the chemical and related sectors. To this end, a webinar is held in the last week of the month with the participation of experts from different areas to shed light on relevant topics such as the current situation of the logistics sector.
