Modern approaches to optimization in logistics: real life stories about people, practices and technologies

Partners:

A series of common challenges of the global market had a significant impact on the strategy of companies. Under the pressure of drastic changes, some companies went into austerity mode, while others, on the contrary, accepted this challenge and, against the backdrop of market redistribution, are looking for new opportunities and expanding the range, revising the product line. Of course, such major changes must be backed by an efficient logistical function. But do new tasks always entail only new logistics costs? What if we consider the change in logistics not only from the standpoint of costs, but from the standpoint of opportunities? How to rise above routine processes and look at the optimization of your logistics with a “new look”? What opportunities do new technologies provide that you have not used before?

We invited the logistics managers of stable companies, business owners who went through a difficult path of optimization and search for non-standard solutions to share their experience and tell in the storytelling format how they searched and found, made mistakes, rose and moved on. You will learn about live experience and technologies that help optimize the company's logistics in a smart way. And most importantly, what result does such a competent approach give and a little look into the future of logistics.
