Evolution Time Critical, specialists in emergency logistics for the automotive industry, reports a surge in requests for critical deliveries during the recent air space closures due to volcanic ash. Along with stranded passengers, airlines struggled to cope with a backlog of thousands of tonnes of cargo.
In order to prevent costly automotive line stoppages, the company’s MD, Brad Brennan, says that the episodes clearly demonstrate the need for more extensive contingency planning among carmakers, many of whom operate extended supply chains with suppliers often situated in distant locations.
