Changing FIBC suppliers: Take note

Sometimes, change is good. In optimizing your business or supply chain, it is even inevitable. When the time comes to switch between Big Bag suppliers, it is important to determine the challenges beforehand to minimize any risks.

Challenges in change-management

Changing suppliers in any part of your production process is a tricky business, and your packaging supplier is no exception. For a smooth transition, proactively managing your supply chain is key.

• Research has shown that organizations who proactively manage supply chain risks spend up to 50% less on managing disruptions.

So what are the risks that you need to keep in mind? They go beyond internal implications. Switching FIBC suppliers could also have an impact on other suppliers you work with to get your product to your end consumer.

Changing for success

Apart from disrupting your production process, affecting your customers and ultimately your revenue, there are other risks to changing Big Bag suppliers. Keep in mind that poor change management could retain you from reaching your objectives:

• Expenses will not be reduced
• Lost investments made in the project and lost opportunities to have invested in other projects
• Efficiencies are not gained
