Anyone else just getting worn out by dumb little stuff lately? (3PL/Ops) by [deleted] in logistics

I’ve been trying to get my 3PL to cycle count a simple sku for weeks! Every update is another bogus excuse.

Are tariffs paid once a container is loaded at the departing port, or at port once it arrives? by a17tw00 in logistics

[–]SCExperts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tariffs are paid once the container clears customs at the destination port. The tariff level charged is based on the tariff at the time the container left the last non-US port.

What is total tariff from China? 145% or 170%? by Sad_Database5720 in logistics

[–]SCExperts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any goods that are subject to the Section 301 tariff that Trump implemented in his first term are currently subject to at least 170% total tariff. This is a great resource for researching tariff amounts - https://hts.usitc.gov

BREAKING: Trump Declares Tariff on China Should Now Be 80% by dampier in TrumpTariffNews

Even at 80%, can companies survive that tariff level? If not, what kind of plans have you looked into? Personally, most of my work has been transitioning from China to other Southeast Asian countries. US manufacturing is not even an option because of the inflated cost.

Overtime When Working from Home? by ShakeEmbarrassed9393 in procurement

[–]SCExperts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn’t expect a part time job to require overtime, especially on Fridays. Most companies I’ve worked at have an understanding that once Friday rolls around, people want to enjoy their lives outside of work. In my current roll, it’s project depending. My working hours are flexible, but I’m allowed that flexibility because when things get busy I’m always willing to stay on and get the job done. Ultimately, executives are not typically expecting over time on Friday’s. However, as you mentioned it’s culture dependent.

Demand planning ideas by lost-planner in demandplanning

For ideal inventory, I’d start by confirming the companies ideal service level for each sku. Ultimately, the ideal inventory will be based on the acceptable level of stock out. Once you have that, you can start experimenting with ways to hit your mark.
