SUMMARY:L&L - How Manufacturers Are Rethinking Transportation Management
DESCRIPTION:From Freight Chaos to Control How Manufacturers Are Rethinking Transportation Management Many manufacturers are still operating with fragmented freight models — plant-by-plant shipping decisions\, a mix of carrier-direct and brokerage relationships\, and limited visibility across the network. In this session\, we’ll explore why that model is breaking down and how leading manufacturers are centralizing transportation through structured 3PL partnerships and control tower approaches to improve cost\, service\, and visibility. \nParticipants will walk away with:\n\nClear indicators that it may be time to centralize transportation management\nA practical framework for evaluating whether to manage freight in-house or outsource\nInsight into what a modern “control tower” model actually looks like (people\, process\, and technology — not just software)\nA checklist for evaluating 3PL partners beyond price alone\nReal-world examples of how manufacturers are reducing freight chaos and improving decision-making\n\nWho Should Attend:\n\nSupply Chain Directors and Managers\nLogistics / Transportation Managers\nOperations Leaders\nPlant Managers\nProcurement Leaders\nCFO’s or Finance Leaders involved in freight spend oversight\n\nThis session is especially valuable for mid-sized manufacturers experiencing growth\, freight complexity\, or visibility challenges across multiple locations   •  This session is especially valuable for mid-sized manufacturers experiencing growth\, freight complexity\, or visibility challenges across multiple locations   •  Register HereMore About the Presenter
