Behind the scenes of Santa Claus’ logistics and supply chain

Santa Claus Logistics and Supply Chain

It’s almost Christmas! Children from all over the world write letters to Santa and eagerly wait for presents. And every year on Christmas morning, children wake up excitedly waiting under the Christmas tree, hoping that presents will be placed on time.

Even though there are many shipping companies or logistics companies around the world, Santa Claus works alone, under time pressure and with a huge number of gifts to deliver to children at one time.

This means that the management of Santa Claus’s route is efficient and consistent with the timeline, even though it only takes one night.

From last year’s statistics, an article from the Goship website stated the following:

• More than 25% of the world’s population is children, numbering 1.8 billion people.
• 31% of children grow up in Christian households, with over 600 million expecting to receive a gift each year.
• If the average weight of each gift box is 1 kilogram, that would be 600 tons that Santa Claus would have to carry around the world.
• If Santa considers hiring workers to help with deliveries, it could require 400,000 trucks or 5,000 Boeing 757-200 planes!
• Santa Claus has only one night, or exactly 22 hours. That means he has to deliver 500,000 presents in one minute without making any mistakes.

The chaos in Santa’s logistics and supply chain is the hard work of the elves to impress people all over the world on Christmas Day without any mistakes.

Santa Claus is aware of this chaos. Recently, people have started to say that Santa Claus is hiring logistics companies to help deliver gifts. All the gifts are still the responsibility of Santa Claus and his team of elves to prepare and wrap beautifully before sending.

What does Santa Claus hire humans to do in the logistics process?

Believe it or not? That the logistics process for sending gifts from Santa Claus really exists! Hundreds of thousands of trucks are ready to deliver those gifts to their destinations, and airports around the world are waiting to do the same.

Including large ships in the ocean, preparing to set sail to deliver gifts to the destination port on time. And in the final step, there are more than a million people who will bring the happiness in every box of gifts to the hands of the children who are waiting.

Santa Claus is an impeccable logistics and supply chain manager, starting with the preparation of gifts, which took more than half a year to plan and execute for Christmas Day alone.

In addition to Santa Claus and his elves, there are 780,000 other people in the United States who work together to make this mission a success, much to the delight of everyone.

Santa Claus enjoys using a variety of transportation services, including air transportation for deliveries to faraway places, such as the airports in America, which are considered the world’s airports.

In Louisville, Kentucky, 1.6 million Christmas gift boxes are loaded into shipping containers to a sorting center. After the gifts are scanned and sorted, they are shipped to their final destinations.

Even in Thailand, all transportation systems are preparing for Christmas. Are you ready to be Santa Claus and bring joy to children?
