When Power Failures Strike: Dodging a $5M Revenue Hit
Size of Shipment:
800+ pounds
Client: Semiconductor fab
Industry: Consumer electronics
Supply Chain Failure: Power outage
A fab experienced a brownout at their facility in the USA, missing their 3PL’s organized pickup at 8PM. The next available pickup was at 8AM the following morning, which would shut down their just-in-time production line for hours, costing over $1M/hour in lost revenue. Using LOWI’s infrastructure and coordination network, they secured air transport within 4 hours of the missed pickup. This avoided 8 hours of production downtime and mitigated $5M in potential revenue loss.
