Presentation:
Are you spending too much on inefficient logistics? If so, you’re not alone. Recent analysis provides estimates that logistics costs in the USA represent over 10% of GDP, roughly TWO TRILLION DOLLARS! This presentation will take a lean look at logistics and focus on how we can add value through warehousing, distribution and transportation.

How content is delivered: the facilitator utilizes a unique combination of slideshow presentation, roundtable discussion, and interactive Q&A to attain the following learning objectives.

Concepts being taught

  • What is logistics and what is the goal of logistics?
  • Lean warehousing techniques such as cross-docking and drop-shipping
  • Lean material handling and storage techniques

What you will take from the presentation:

  • The trade-off between shrinking lot sizes and increasing deliveries
  • Design for Logistics (DFL) opportunities
  • Sustainability improvements through reverse logistics (reduce, reuse, recycle) .
