Realising the Benefits from Effective
Transportation Management Roundtable
Whether you subcontract your transport out to a third party provider or run your own fleet, the benefits and costs of transport operations need to be continuously managed. Logistics running costs are now at record levels, and with diesel often 30-40% of this the trend is for increasing costs in the future. However logistics operations offer exciting benefit streams to reduce costs, avoiding unnecessary margin erosion and increase your competitive advantage (Transport costs account for approximately 5% of GDP).
This event is an opportunity to engage in a discussion with transport executives and experts to significantly improve your logistics function. Understand the potential of utilising integrated systems and how using carefully constructed key performance indicators focusing on productivity, management and growth can drive continuous improvement.
You will benefit from the insight of multiple Transportation Management implementations as well as extensive logistics market place experience and knowledge enabling you to utilise your systems to their greatest advantage. The interactive format will give you the opportunity to understand the implications from both an operational and an implementation perspective, share experiences and discuss how innovative solutions can be applied to create truly integrated transport management solutions.
