Peak-season capacity and continuity
Published · Reviewed by The Diligence Standard Team · Updated
A logistics network that performs in ordinary months may fail when inventory, labor, carrier capacity or warehouse limits tighten during peak periods.
Records to reconcile
- Weekly order and inventory history
- Peak staffing and capacity plans
- Carrier allocation and service history
Warning signal
Forecast growth exceeds documented storage, labor or carrier capacity.
Transaction impact
Sales can create delays, cancellations, penalties and working-capital strain.
Response
Stress peak volumes and secure alternate capacity before relying on growth.
