The Future of Logistics Logistic & Supply Chain Trends External Forces Optimization Risks Sustainability Technology Equipment Advances Warehousing Modal Trends
External Forces “The Past Does Not Reflect the Future” Demographics – urbanization, aging population, shifting wealth and economic power Technology – social media, new communication technologies, “Cloud” based economy Health and Safety – visibility/ accountability for consumers, suppliers, manufacturers Sustainability – scarcity – CO 2, climate change, alternative fuels Regulatory Pressures
Consumer Driven Multiple partners connected Systems Collaboration Shared Assets & Competencies Optimization “Trading partners share information in their relationships”
Theft and counterfeit Higher valued goods Global Supply Increase in Fuel Prices Government Regulation Sharing of Information Margin Compression Risks What risks surround supply chain?
Sustainability Three Dimensional 1.Environmental - Reduce Carbon Footprint 2.Society – Improved lifestyle 3.Economy - Transportation Efficiency
Sustainability Global Strategic Initiatives: Source Locally Long Term Relationships with Suppliers Buy larger quantities from fewer suppliers Keep Operations Lean Reverse logistics Less petroleum dependent supplies / transport lanes Alternative fuels and energy
Sustainability Solutions Shared – Infrastructure, transportation, warehousing – Planning, ordering, manufacturing – Recycle, reuse Efficient Assets – Modernize equipment – Green buildings – Alternative fuels (biodiesel), natural gas
Sustainability Solutions Alternative Power Units Satellite monitoring system SmartWay Transport Partnership Alaska’s Green Star program Carlile purchased Kenworth’s First Hybrid Tractor in PNW
Technology Trends – “Cloud” Utilization Collaborative systems – Accessibly Pads Onboard equipment Freight technology Goals Visibility and accessibility resolving issues Real time and forecasting instead of reacting “Engaging with the user versus talking to the user”
