Major bottlenecks in logistics:

Information about freight movements goes through the supply chain elements with a delay. Possible implications include planning and forecasting constraints; delayed payment for delivered product or overproduction under a canceled contract. Isolation of internal accounting systems. For stock levels in the supply chain to be clarified, all of its elements should update the details concerning the same element in their respective systems. All payments among the chain participants go through the bank with all that entails: high fees, extra time to settle and clear money transfers. Low product traceability can possibly result in counterfeit or infected meat being found in a batch. High costs associated with hard-copy paperwork.
