China has recently been named the Second largest economy in the World, overtaking Japan and is the largest Exporter to the United States. After a dismal 2009 World economy where inventories were slashed and import waned, 2010 has the challenge to restock retailer’s shelves and prepare for an improved Holiday season.
This CSCMP Event Includes:
· Steve Jurcenko - Regional Sales and Business Development Manager for Maersk Distribution (The Maersk Line fleet comprises more than 500 vessels and a number of containers corresponding to more than 1,900,000 TEU). Steve will discuss ocean shipping: financial challenges, surcharges, slow steaming, retail peak, container and ocean capacity issues out of China.
· Robert Curry Jr. – President for California Multimodal, LLC (CMI) CMI operates one of the largest local drayage networks on the West and East coasts and gateways throughout the United States since 1944. Bob will discuss challenges affecting the Ports of LA/Long Beach as they will most certainly affect other ports in the future. These challenges include the Clean Air Action Plan and PierPASS Program which has changed the local drayage business model and reduced overall drayage capacity.
· Dusty Porter - Distribution Operations Manager for Payless ShoeSource/Collective Brands (Retail leader in bringing compelling lifestyle, fashion and performance brands for footwear and accessories).

Dallas Fort Worth Roundtable CSCMP - September 9th - Luncheon Meeting
"Leveraging Supply Chain Management to Impact the Bottom Line"
Speaker:
Dave Malenfant, Vice President, Global Supply Chain
Alcon Laboratories
How does Supply Chain Management help a company drive positive bottom-line results?
Can we learn lessons from pioneers in this area that can be applied to other organizations?
How does one get started?
Forward-thinking companies are seeking every opportunity to maximize revenues, minimize costs, drive global business objectives, and return to healthy profitability levels within a sustainable model. New models and approaches are desperately needed to promote further alignment of diverse business units and to ensure that ‘everyone is pulling in the same direction’.
The examples discussed in this presentation demonstrate how Alcon Laboratories, Inc., the world’s largest eye care company, has successfully leveraged supply chain management practices to achieve bottom-line results. The concepts and tactics discussed can be utilized by any organization interested in capturing similar benefits.
Dave Malenfant brings over 30 years in Supply Chain Management. After graduation from the University of Windsor, Ontario, Canada, he worked in several Supply Chain management positions with Wyeth Ayerst Canada.
In Canada, Dave was Co-founder and President of Signature Consultants, Inc., (1973) a business, finance and economic consulting firm. Signature Consultants, Inc. was sold in 1993. Dave implemented and operated several other business initiatives that are still profitable in Canada.
Dave has worked for Alcon Laboratories, Inc. in Fort Worth, Texas since 1993, holding positions as Purchasing Manager, Materials Operation Manager and Director Global Supply Chain. Dave is currently Vice President Global Supply Chain. As Vice President he provides strategic direction for the company’s Global Supply Chain initiatives.
Over the years, Dave has been responsible for the implementation of over 30 different computer systems – WMS, ERP, Finite Scheduling, Order Entry, among others. Dave is past chairman of the Supply Chain Council.
At Alcon, Dave’s group continues to focus on operational efficiency and lean initiatives that will ensure that Alcon has a world class supply chain.

U.S. & Global Trade Policy
Trends & Expectations
Thursday, September 16, 2010
Speaker: Pete Mento
Regarded as one of the world's leading experts on International Trade Policy and Supply Chain Security. Pete Mento is an often quoted source on the development of the US and Global economy and the role that trade policy plays. Because of his passion for this topic, and his unparalleled skill at illuminating complex (and often dry) topics in international trade, Pete is a very sought after speaker throughout the world. He has conducted sold out lectures to tens of thousands of people in every imaginable venue from university lecture halls to comedy clubs. He is the most unlikely trade nerd you will ever meet. Mento is a Trade Academic who has written many articles and work papers on Trade Theory and Trade Practices.
His current studies find him at the University of Durham in the UK where he is pursuing his degree in Trade Law. He is especially well versed in matters of duty minimization, international finance, free trade as a force for the elimination of poverty, defense industry compliance and cross border free trade agreements.
Pete most recently served as the Principal Consultant of Expeditors Tradewind where he spent seven years leading the organization. He served a major stint as a U.S. Merchant Marine officer and appointments with A E I and Panalpina. He served those two companies in both the Freight Forwarding and Trade Services. He is a die hard fan of the Boston Red Sox. I'm sure many of us can over look that.

Sometime over the last few years you may have received a notice indicating that your personal data was lost or stolen (a majority of Americans have). As a logistics professional, you most likely handle the same type of personal data (i.e. customer lists, passwords or credit card information from orders) that if lost or stolen would cause a reputational and monetary impact to your company. During this session learn about the obligations and trends in protecting that data.

Description:
Railroad at the Crossroads - The Michigan State Rail Plan and Beyond
Topic
The North American rail industry is at a crossroads. With uncertain long term fuel prices many shippers are rethinking intermodal options. Yet will there be enough rail capacity to absorb the demand for passenger rail and freight growth? Many carload shippers are concerned about current levels of service and some are reconsidering deregulation. Class 1 Railroads were big winners in the ARRA Economic Stimulus Act “TIGER” grant awards, with large ambitious corridor projects, while many short lines railroads struggle to survive are filing for abandonment.
The State of Michigan, with HNTB Corporation has undertaken a state rail plan to identify freight issues and opportunities. This program will:
· Provide an over view of the role of railroads in Michigan
· Discuss Michigan’s vision for future rail service
· Highlight seven goals for future freight and passenger development
· Encourage dialogue on issues and opportunities in Michigan
Speaker
Libby Ogard
President. Prime Focus LLC
Ms. Ogard spent 17 years in the railroad industry working for Burlington
Northern and Conrail in the intermodal and carload marketing area. In

| Description:
The NEW ENGLAND ROUNDTABLE & COUNCIL OF SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT PROFESSIONALS (CSCMP) present:
Humanitarian Logistics: The Challenges of the Relief Effort in Haiti
Speakers:
Jarrod Goentzel - Executive Director, MIT Supply Chain Management Program and Research Director for Humanitarian Logistics.
Kathryn Kempton - Director of Procurement, Partners in Health.
Place: Sheraton Framingham Hotel and Conference Center
1657 Worcester Road
Framingham, MA 01701
Date/Time: Thursday, September 23, 2010 at 5:30PM - 8:30PM
Learn About:
Partners In Health (PIH) is a Boston based NGO that is known for demonstrating that “allegedly untreatable” diseases can in fact be treated in impoverished settings. Featured in Tracy Kidder's best-selling book Mountains Beyond Mountains, PIH is focused on addressing the root causes of poverty by engaging the community and working with the public sector to strengthen health systems and improve the country’s health infrastructure. PIH has been providing health care in the rural Central Plateau of Haiti, north of Port au Prince, since the mid-1980s. Having outgrown its initial supply chain configuration, PIH began working with the MIT Center for Transportation & Logistics in 2009 to effectively scale up operations. The January 2010 earthquake added further stress to the PIH supply chain with the rapid ramp-up of clinics in four spontaneous settlement camps in and around Port au Prince.
This session provides an overview of the PIH supply chain: pre- and post-earthquake. We will discuss a model developed by MIT that dramatically improves demand forecasting and provides simulation capabilities. Results from the model demonstrate that changes in inventory management approaches can drastically reduce warehouse space requirements for PIH while reducing the cost of emergency procurement. We close with an overview of healthcare supply chains in other resource-constrained areas of the world and with an update on the situation in Haiti.
About our Speakers:
Jarrod Goentzel is Executive Director of the MIT Supply Chain Management Program, a 9-month professional master's degree. He is also Research Director for the Humanitarian Logistics and the Renewable Energy Delivery projects at the MIT Center for Transportation & Logistics. Previously, Dr. Goentzel directed the MIT-Zaragoza International Logistics Program, leading MIT’s role in developing novel education, research, and outreach programs with the Zaragoza Logistics Center in Spain. He received a Ph.D. from the School of Industrial and Systems Engineering at Georgia Tech. Since 2004, Dr. Goentzel has worked with humanitarian and global health organizations such as World Food Programme, Oxfam, Red Cross, Save the Children, Partners In Health, John Snow Inc. and USAID to develop supply chains that effectively meet needs.
Kathryn Kempton is the Director of Procurement at Partners In Health. She has worked at PIH for 12 years and has overseen the growth of the procurement efforts to serve PIH’s expansion within Haiti, as well as the implementation of health projects in three African countries. Ms. Kempton has extensive experience managing essential drug programs in resource-poor settings, both from the programs’ inception and through periods of rapid expansion. She has worked closely with the World Health Organization to address issues of access to drugs for the treatment of multi drug-resistant tuberculosis, and has also collaborated with the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, TB and Malaria on the provision of generic anti-retroviral drugs for HIV+ patients. Ms. Kempton holds a Bachelor of Science degree from Boston University.
