DENSITY-BASED PRICING: THE CONVERSATION CONTINUESOver the last seven months, SMC³ educational events — from webinars to panels at Jump Start 2015 – have included in-depth discussions of density-based pricing. These gatherings helped to lay out the facts of the new rating technique and clear up miscommunication, while exploring the next pricing horizon and explaining how it differs from classification rating. Whether you’re pro-classification, pro-density or are on the fence, we’ve strived to put the right information in front of the right people to better educate the industry. At Connections 2015, we’ll continue the debate, looking at the current industry acceptance of density, and the density technology in use and in development. Join a leader in LTL carrier services to continue the discussion of density-based pricing.

THE CHIEFS SPEAK OUT

Comprised of thought leadership from across logistics and supply chain management, this exciting new addition to Connections 2015 allows attendees to hear directly from a cross-section of C-level executives. These major players are helping to shape the decisions driving the flow of domestic and global freight. From identifying critical pain points to the broad and far-reaching relevance of “big information” in supply chain execution, companies wanting to increase efficiencies and foster a greater understanding of the bigger supply chain should take note of this session. With the floor open for discussion, join “the chiefs” as they discuss their greatest challenges with Connections 2015 attendees.

SUPPLY CHAIN LABOR DEMOGRAPHICS 2025

The transportation industry of 2015 is in critical need of unprecedented transformation.

The negative reverberations of the months-long contract dispute impacting West Coast port productivity will be felt throughout and beyond 2015. With the contract signed and cargo fluidity having returned to pre-disruption levels, what are some possible new twists in supply chain planning— inclusive of non-traditional collaboration? We all have businesses to run. How your company responds impacts multiple partners. With ‘a lot’ of questions to be addressed, what caused the disruption? How did it get so far? Are future events preventable? Do port dynamics require change? Did Canadian and Mexican port performance pay-off? East Coast success — the right formula or pure luck? From port to truck, how can ‘greater’ supply chain collaboration lead to ‘greater’ cargo fluidity? Join our panel of experts as we explore these questions and more.

ADVANCEMENTS IN MOBILE TECHNOLOGY

Today it’s all about mobile, frictionless connectivity in a 24/7 environment, where multiple supply chain partners are deeply connected and managing cargo fluidity from anywhere on the globe. Where is this mobile technology utilization most visible? Service providers can handle everything from tracking assets and shipments, to executing transactions and improving processes; savvy 3PLs are early investors in smartphone applications to widen the gap with their competitors in a cutthroat industry. At the same time, trucking is utilizing mobile technology for proof-of-delivery, monitoring hours-of-services, fleet management and maintenance, and introducing greater service flexibility. The testimonials supporting the greater use of mobile applications could go on and on, as service providers such as warehouse operators, ports, and rail and ocean carriers have their own positive take. Join our panel of leading experts in mobile technology as we explore the practical application of mobile technology to the supply chain.

REGULATORY TOPICS UP AND DOWN THE HILL

There’s a consensus among supply chain professionals that their biggest issues continue to center upon the rising cost of doing business, finding and retaining compliant labor, and federal regulations that are simply too severe. This session will focus on some of the more important regulatory items being thrown about in Washington, D.C. Join our roundtable of regulatory watchdogs as we tackle some of the top regulatory and compliance topics facing the supply chain.

Beyond U.S. exports such as agricultural product and medicine crossing Cuban docks today, realistically what U.S. products will be eligible for export? From ports to carriers, what impact, if any, does the easing mean to the U.S. transportation? Is Cuban infrastructure prepared? Are there practical and legal risks to consider?

U.S. FINANCIAL UPDATE AND THE SUPPLY CHAIN

After years of uncertainty, has the U.S. economy finally posted above-average growth? Has there been strong growth in job creation, equity markets, and an improved fiscal position and monetary policy? In this session, financial expert David Ross will explore how these factors – combined with a current look at capacity, labor, fuel prices, and freight challenges – affect logistics and supply chain management.

PUTTING THE 'BUSINESS' IN SOCIAL MEDIA

Some companies just can’t get past the “social” in social media. You probably have your own perceptions. Understanding its true “business” value sheds a whole new light on the importance of the social era. In fact, if your company isn’t already engaged in some form of social media, “#getconnected.” From driver recruitment to matching loads, we’ll explore the untapped value of a social media strategy and get started on creating a solid foundation. You’ll discover the traps to avoid, as well as the best practices for implementing, measuring and sustaining an effective social media program. With no signs of slowing down, we’ll filter through the noise for introducing social media to your supply chain.

PROTECTING YOUR CSA SCORE

A critical part of protecting your CSA score is to assure your team is regularly educated on the safety rules and regulations prescribed by the DOT. Veteran attorney Dan Fulkerson will review the key factors that are used to calculate your CSA score. It’s equally important to remember, don’t be afraid to challenge a questionable citation, particularly if that citation pushes you close to, or over, the intervention threshold. New rules in place by the FMCSA allow a carrier to change a CSA score based on dismissed, or amended, citations. Learn what to consider when trying to improve your CSA score; when to take action; the meaning of amended charges; your responsibility for reporting the outcome of an adjudicated citation; and the positive outcome of better educating local prosecutors.

THE TRANSPORTATION TUG OF WAR

Connections 2015 is again proud to host the findings of the 23rd annual Trends and Issues in Logistics and Transportation study. Results from the annual survey suggest that carriers, driven by a need to maximize profitability, are at a polar opposite with shippers, who are focused on reducing costs. This lack of alignment has created a struggle, which results in a loss of focus on the bigger prize of being able to compete supply-chain to supply-chain. Join members of the study’s research team as we explore study findings to determine who is winning the battle.

WELCOME TO THE ERA OF FRICTIONLESS INFORMATION

These are exciting times for the supply chain. Technological advancements in communications and information technology are evolving at an all-time high. At the same time, there’s greater pressure on the pipeline (particularly trucking) to think outside the box in order to control rising costs and to more effectively communicate beyond EDI through the latest and greatest technological advancements. In response, the newest buzz in the industry focuses on “frictionless connectivity,” where driving the right information to the right person at the right time with minimal effort is at the heart of future supply chain information exchange. Join one of transportation’s leading experts in transportation software as we explore “the era of frictionless information.”
