Standardising Logistics and its Impact on National Supply

 

The supply chain of the products is affected by the logistic sectors in India; be it directly or indirectly. There is no denying the fact that logistics is one of the biggest contributors to the growth of the Indian economy and is growing every single day.

However, there are several challenges faced by the logistics industry which can pose long term adverse effects. The biggest one is covering a wide range of industries including packaging, warehousing, material handling and many others. Different areas of working means lesser effectiveness of working. With that thing in mind, integrating all these sectors is the need of the moment. In addition to that, lack of digitization and harming the environment is another major challenge for the industry.

Mere mentioning the challenges is similar to complaining if there is no solution provided. For the above-mentioned challenge, the most effective solution is standardising logistics. Enhancing quality, and compatibility can be achieved by setting standards to packaging, processing, and labelling.

BIS has introduced several BIS certifications for various similar sectors under logistics to ensure transparency and quality. Freight containers, packaging, package size, material, and weight standardisation is introduced to make logistics an uncompromised and effective industry. Flexible Intermedia Bulk Containers or FIBSs are also developed to boost up the quality of logistics.

In addition to that, BIS is constantly working towards going green and reduce carbon waste produced by regular usage. The introduction of electric vehicles has also put a huge impact on logistics and BIS is taking all the measures to ensure the safety of the vehicles.

Standardising logistics will surely change the way how things used to work but on a positive side. All these changes will ultimately result in better efficiency of working, digitizing the sectors, and reducing the damage done to the environment. Though it will take time but will help in maximizing the security, effectiveness and global competitiveness of India in the world. BIS consultants in Delhi use the right approach in ensuring the quality standard of the product and logistics sector and work in sync with these consultants to make the certification process a bit easier.
