A winery in Auckland is currently experiencing supply chain disruption. James, the logistics director, looks at the empty warehouse with glazed eyes. It is reported that the current inventory is only enough to complete one order. New whisky bottles have yet to be produced. The distillery, which features round whiskey bottle, previously filled 2,000 bottles an hour; ‘Every day we worry about when the bottle is going to run out,’ Mr. James said, shaking his head. Even though procurement costs have gone up by 20%, I’ve never seen anything like it, and so far we haven’t passed it on to our customers.
As the epidemic spreads around the world, the capacity of many manufacturers has been greatly affected, which has led to a sharp rise in costs and an infinite extension of the delivery cycle. At present, it is not clear that the round whiskey bottle shortage will be alleviated properly.
