- Marc Blouin, DHL Solutions, Senior Vice President

While these third-party contracts continue to increase, the proper management of these evolving, dynamic relationships is often overlooked. In this session, a panel of 3PL experts will share steps that lead to successful and mutually beneficial working processes.

| Getting to Real Time in the Warehouse: Looking Outside the Four Walls
Speakers:
- Wilson Rothschild, SCM Solutions Manager, Infor
- Moderator: Mike Levans, Editor-in-Chief, Logistics Management
It used to be that knowing what was going on inside your warehouse was enough. Today, distribution processes touch both inside and outside the four walls of your warehouse. While pundits talk of the real-time supply chain as some magical incantation that will solve all your distribution problems, most logistics professionals are left wondering what they can do to achieve real-time. In this session, logistics and supply chain professionals will hear practical examples from their peers on how to utilize real-time supply chain execution capabilities such as RF, voice, and RFID in conjunction with performance and exception management to improve order visibility and accuracy, speed receiving, putaway, pick pack and ship processes, and improve overall fulfillment performance.

| Actively Manage Your Inbound Transportation
Speakers:
- Adrian Gonzalez, Director of ARC Advisory Group's Logistics Executive Council
- Moderator: Mike Levans, Editor-in-Chief, Logistics Management
While many companies have successfully controlled their outbound supply chains, managing and controlling the flow of inbound materials has remained elusive. Neither the processes nor systems have existed that allowed a buying company to actively control a suppliers’ shipments and inbound transportation. In this hands-on session, ARC Advisory Group’s Adrian Gonzalez will share the results of his report on managing suppler inbound shipments entitled, “On-Demand TMS: Transforming the Inbound Process.” Gonzalez will detail the inbound process flow, address the key challenges of the traditional process, explore the “Ready-to-Ship” process, and speak to the values and benefits of the technology-enabled process.
The session will also feature a case study of a shipper who, by actively managing his inbound process, increased lead time dependability and eliminate variance, reduced inventory and out-of-stocks, increased reaction time to incomplete or late orders and shipments, and shortened order/shipment cycle times, among other benefits.
