The contamination occurred in a single facility in Gainesville, Georgia, but resulted in products from more than 30 brands being pulled from the shelves and recalled. Grocery chains affected included Trader Joe’s, Costco, Lidl, Walmart and Kroger. Download this report today on how technology will boost transparency in food distribution.

The world is changing, yet planners are still using Excel to consolidate their plans. They’re also stuck in systems with planning fundamentals that are siloed, where each stage of supply and demand happens in linear sequence across independent functions.

  • Planners are frustrated and using spreadsheets to consolidate plans that are outdated before they’re complete.
  • IT is tired of dealing with the ongoing integration and connection issues across multiple systems.
  • Executives are upset about making big investments that yield only small results.

In this Aberdeen research report, learn why a siloed approach to planning can’t deliver on today’s expectations and how a modern concurrent planning approach is the answer to today’s supply chain challenges.

The Worker Centric Distribution Center

Tuesday, December 17, 2019 12:00 to Tuesday, March 17, 2020 12:00

ON-DEMAND WEBINAR

Industry 5.0 — the fifth industrial revolution — places workers in the middle of the technological advancements occurring throughout the supply chain. While Industry 4.0 focused on the internet of things (IoT) and interconnectedness, the real value comes from putting workers in the middle of these technological evolutions.

By keeping workers at the center of the conversation, Industry 5.0 enables strong collaborative efforts between humans and robots, provides the foundation for the rise of the worker-centric DC, and ultimately results in a happier, more productive workforce.  

In this live, interactive webinar, James Hendrickson, director of product & offering management, Honeywell Safety & Productivity Solutions, will explore:

  • How workercentric solutions accelerate DC productivity
  • Why technology in the DC will propel tomorrow’s mobile workers
  • The trends and investments that can boost the performance of your DC operations

DATE: Wednesday, March 4, 2020
TIME: 1:00 PM ET

Meeting customer demands for free and fast shipping, whether B2B, B2C, or B2B2C is driving the increase in parcel volume and the expansion of delivery choices.  Companies are struggling to manage the shift from a centralized fulfillment model to a more decentralized model that emphasizes shipping from inventory sources (stores, manufacturers and other suppliers) in closer proximity to end consumers.  Merchants now need to think differently about how to successfully manage omnichannel parcel and LTL strategies.  

Getting your omnichannel shipping strategy right means improved customer service, shorter distances to the customer, increased speed of delivery, and reduced cost. 

Please join us to discuss tips on implementing an effective omnichannel shipping strategy that incorporates parcel and LTL and a broad, diverse range of carriers. 

In this 30-minute webinar you will learn:  

  • Current omnichannel fulfillment trends and market data points
  • Challenges and critical issues facing logistics managers
  • What the emerging omni-channel transportation model looks like
  • Summary of benefits and takeaways
