Speaker

Instructor: Joe Lynch
Product ID: 703841

Location
  • Duration: 75 Min
This 3 PL training program will examine how to implement third party logistics to outsource your logistics, warehousing and transportation to a specialist in the field, so you can concentrate on your core products. Transportation should be handled by a quarterly business review (QBR) wherein you both review the fuel surcharge (FSC) and agree to savings using the 3PL’s transportation management system (TMS) which optimizes lanes and routes for better mileage and transportation efficiency.

Why Should You Attend:

When it comes to 3PL, the best method to maintain/monitor a transparent and strong relationship is to mutually set up a win-win service level agreement (SLA) with agreed upon key performance indicators (KPIs). This document has to be reviewed frequently, quarterly at minimum, and monthly to begin with, as the two parties go through the honeymoon period. Some issues in the SLA/KPI are continuous improvement for cost reduction, quality levels, reliability, flexibility, responsiveness, customer service percentages, voice of the customer techniques, inventory management, inventory records accuracy, transportation, IT systems integration, safety, security, manpower, weekend work and many other issues depending on the customer and a 3PL.

This webinar will discuss why the key to success is collaboration, trust, compatibility, and fairness and why adversarial relationships do not work. Further, it will discuss reasons why large companies use a 3PL:
