  • Summary

  • In this episode, Selby & Hamish dive deep into the crucial concept of capacity in logistics. They explore key questions faced by industry professionals: How do you measure your capacity, maximise it, and maintain service quality? And how do you strike the perfect balance between service delivery and maintenance to avoid disruptions?

    Through data-driven insights, we discuss how to optimise vehicle volumes, reduce time between deliveries, and prevent operational conflicts that can disrupt schedules. Our hosts also break down real-life examples where capacity mismanagement led to major setbacks: UPS’s 2013 holiday delivery fiasco, Nike’s costly supply chain malfunction, and Hanjin Shipping’s bankruptcy in 2016. Each story highlights the risks and ripple effects of poor planning and the ways companies have since adapted to avoid repeating these mistakes.

    Tune in for a revealing look at why knowing and managing your capacity is vital to surviving in today’s fast-paced supply chain landscape—and what can happen when businesses don’t get it right.
