CLACKAMAS, Ore., Dec. 7, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- (NASDAQ: YRCWD) –
Reddaway has announced a new and improved Service Alert process
that will inform customers about situations that may impact their
supply chain. Coinciding with the seasonal effects of winter
weather, a new E-mail Service Alert and corresponding webpage on
Reddawayregional.com will provide more detailed information about
weather, natural disaster or other circumstances that may
potentially impact service.
E-mail Service Alerts are available early in the day which
enables shippers to better plan their transportation and inventory
strategies to ensure their supply chains remain efficient. This is
particularly important for companies shipping products that are
time sensitive.
"Many of today's companies work with marginally flexible
inventory levels. Interruptions in the flow of goods can cause
production delays, stock outs and strained customer or vendor
relationships," says T.J. O'Connor,
president – Reddaway. "Our goal with E-mail Service Alerts is to
help customers plan around unexpected circumstances in order to
assure supply-chain continuity."
To receive E-mail Service Alerts please contact a Reddaway
account executive or visit us online at
