Stage 2 can initially supply through its own stocks. If these are used up, delivery cannot take place as quickly as desired due to delivery bottlenecks; order quantities remain unfulfilled and inventories continue to decline while order quantities are increased even further.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><em><strong>The effect on supply level 2\u00a0<\/strong><\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Level 2 is similar to level 1, but the deflections for order and stock quantity are significantly higher.

If the order quantity is reduced, the shipment quantity is reduced in the same way with a slight time offset. If a supply level attempts to reduce the stock level over time, the quantities to be transported increase.<\/p>\n<p>This concerns not only the trading partners in the supply chain stages, but also the transport organizations and transport partners along the chain. An additional complicating factor is that although the transporters are represented in the committees of overarching steering groups, they cannot necessarily use the information from these committees to improve their own situation.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-606332e elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"606332e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-61d1fa8 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"61d1fa8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h4 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Using a container terminal as an example<\/h4>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9ef1b99 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"9ef1b99\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Although the terminal is informed that the transport volumes are collapsing, it has to provide both personnel and storage space for the containers that are now unused, and in extreme cases even expand them.
