February 2012 Event  -

The End of Cheap Oil: Is Your Supply Chain Obsolete?

Presentation by: Chuck Taylor – Awake! Consulting

Oil is the master resource that powers 95% of the world’s transportation. What can supply chain professionals expect going forward? The session explains why the end of cheap oil is one of those inevitable “surprises” that will change the world as we know it.  The focus of this presentation is on geology, geopolitics, the energy industry, the search for alternatives, risk mitigation and, in particular, how these factors will impact fuel prices and supply chains.  The goal of this session is to raise awareness about critical energy issues and present strategies for supply chain executives to prepare their companies and themselves for the predictable end of the oil age.

"3PL and Value to Customer"

Presented by Joseph Gallick, SVP, Penske Logistics

at Rillo’s Restaurant in Carlisle 

Date:    Wednesday, February 15, 2012

Location:  Rillo’s Restaurant, 60 Pine Street, Carlisle, PA

Times:   5:30-6:30 - Registration and Networking 
                 6:30 PM   - Dinner 
                 7:15 PM   - Introduction & Announcements

Cost/Reservation Information:  $35 per person, $20 per student.  Reservations will be accepted through Friday, February 10, 2012.  Choice of dinner entrees below.

Presentation:  3PL and Value to Customer: Traditionally, most third party logistics companies have focused on creating value for customers by taking over their transportation and warehousing operations, and through economies of scale, systems and best practices, removing excessive costs from these functions.

While this ability to help customers reduce these supply chain costs remains important, the outsourcing cycle for warehousing and transportation management has matured for many companies. Efficiencies have been gained. Easily identifiable costs have been wrung out.

Where will logistics providers find the next level of value for their customers?

Presenter:  Joseph Gallick serves as the Senior Vice President of Sales for Penske Logistics - a position he has held since 1999.  He is responsible for strategic direction and business development of a $2.4 billion international business spanning North America, South America, Europe and Asia. 

Gallick joined Penske in 1988 as Area Sales Manager for the Metro New York Region of Penske Truck Leasing.  In 1996 he was named Vice President of National Accounts and had responsibility for major account business development in the United States and Canada. 

Gallick is a member of the Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals and the Warehousing Education and Research Council.  He also represents Penske as the corporate sponsor liaison to the Penn State Center for Supply Chain Research and Northeastern University and serves on the advisory board of Logistics Quarterly Magazine.  Gallick is the 2010 recipient of The Pennsylvania State University Robert D. Pashek Award, for his contributions to the logistics and transportation fields.

A graduate of Montclair State University, Gallick holds a BS degree in Business Administration.  He and his wife, Lisa, have two children and reside in Downingtown, Pennsylvania.

March 14, 2012 – Tour of Glatfelter Paper Mill

February 15, 2012 CSCMP Panel Event

You will have an opportunity to discuss the December 2011 U.S. DOT Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration’s Hours of Service Rules and your truck safety concerns with our special panel of experts.

Panelists:

•  Anne Ferro, Administrator, Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA)

•  Rob Abbott, Vice President of Safety, American Trucking Association (ATA)

•  Randy Mullett, Vice President of Government Relations and Public Affairs, Con-way Trucking and Logistics

•  Moderator, Karin Foster, Transportation Planner/Freight Programs at Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments (MWCOG)

On December 22, 2011, the FMCSA released a long-awaited final rule modifying the hours of service regulations for truck drivers.  The two most significant of these changes will take effect on July 1, 2013.  One will impose limitations on the use of the weekly “restart” rest provision.  The other significant change will require drivers to take a 30 minute break every eight hours. 

The FMCSA Hours of Service Rule’s goal is to reduce excessive long work hours that increase both the risk of fatigue-related crashes and long-term health problems for drivers.  On average, the new rule reduces a driver’s maximum allowable hours of work per week from 82 hours to 70 hours, a 15% reduction.  The 15% reduction in the average maximum allowable hours of work based on the new rule results from the restrictions on the use of the restart period.  The rule will mainly affect drivers who work more than 70 hours a week on a continuing basis.  These drivers are primarily long-haul truckload drivers.

Many in the trucking industry and shipper groups contend that the changes are excessive and will do little to improve safety and driver health, and will have negative economic implications.  Meanwhile, safety advocate groups contend the bill does not go far enough to improve truck safety.

Listen to our panel of experts for three unique perspectives.

Learn About:

Whether you are actively searching for employment, in the same position for many years, thinking that you don’t need to be involved with career changes or a student about to graduate you WILL one way or the other come in contact with an industry employment search firm.

RSR Partners is an executive, board and leadership recruiting firm.  Led by Russell S. Reynolds, Jr., the founder of Russell Reynolds Associates, RSR Partners was formed in 1993 and has been on the leading edge of advising CEOs and Boards on C-suite recruiting, succession planning and talent assessment.  The company has strong sector practice areas in consumer products, investment banking, financial services, industrial, transportation, healthcare and technology, among others.

Their team collaborates in leveraging the individual expertise at the firm to solve a variety of human capital issues for their clients.  Their involvement ranges from board and executive recruitment to providing counsel on management succession planning.  By focusing on corporate board and C-level mandates, they are continuously expanding their knowledge base of accomplished senior executives allowing the firm to more effectively complete assignments.

They are not limited by bureaucracy or internal conflicts or the regional restrictions of more provincial sources.  Combined with collaborative culture, their clients are assured that their search objectives will not be compromised by such road blocks as internal competition for candidates.

The Recruitment Process

Their professionals have over 100 years combined experience recruiting senior-level executives.  They have a proven approach and a sound methodology for completing comprehensive searches with both speed and accuracy. The objective is to identify, attract and evaluate outstanding candidates from whom their clients can select the individuals who meet or exceed the organization’s present and future goals.

·       Position Analysis
Meet with our client to learn more about the qualities desired in a candidate and the job specification. In this way, they develop a full understanding of the client’s organization, working environment, specific requirements and objectives, and the role the selected individual will play in the organization.

·       Research
Once they have established the criteria for candidate selection, they research hundreds of possible sources.  They also follow up leads within their extensive database and well-established network of personal contacts.

·       Sourcing
They then begin a comprehensive program to contact sources and identify prospective candidates.  Scores of candidates may be screened, with perhaps a dozen surviving the process.

·       Candidate Evaluation
Then they conduct intensive face-to-face interviews with the most promising candidates.  They consider vital issues relating to work experience and background, education, personality and managerial style, professional development, growth and achievement, ability to handle the position requirements and compensation history.

·       Reference Checking
All backgrounds and references are investigated thoroughly. The results are fully documented, including references from prior managers that verify position functions and accomplishments, and performance strengths and weaknesses.

·       Recruiting
Communications with the client and the candidates during all phases of the search process are maintained in such a manner as to respect both the confidentiality and sensitivity of the search agreement.  When an offer is extended, they participate and assist in the discussions/negotiations in order to maintain an open channel of communication.

·       On-Going Follow-Up
Once the candidate starts the new position, they remain in close contact with both the client and the candidate to ensure a smooth transition and a satisfactory completion of the assignment.

Come to this very important supply chain meeting and learn some of the secrets of networking with a major search firm when considering an employment change.  Hear both a search firm executive and a supply chain practitioner tell about the process of re-engineering your career!

CSCMP - Lehigh Valley Roundtable

 Tuesday, February  21, 2012

Forecasting in Times of Change

The ability to forecast accurately provides companies with a significant competitive advantage. Good forecasts can identify new markets and trends, anticipate disruptions, and correctly estimate demands. Poor forecasts, on the other hand, result in excess inventories, poor customer services, and missed market opportunities. Forecasting in times of changes is especially challenges. More technology and new software are not the answer. The key is an understanding of basic forecasting principles that have been developed from studying forecasting practices of hundreds of successful companies. This session will explain these forecasting principles and show how they can be applied in companies to achieve a competitive advantage.

The Richmond Chapters of AIIM, ARMA and CSCMP Present

The Records Management group at Altria Client Services Inc. manages electronic and paper records for the Altria family of companies.  This includes the storage and logistics of ~300,000 records boxes spread across multiple company managed and third party supplier locations.  In early 2011, a bid was conducted in order to completely outsource the management of these records boxes.  The remaining part of the year was spent executing this strategy and building a relationship with a new records storage supplier. 

In his 8 years with Altria, Nicholas Morales has handled several large warehouse transitions and new supplier implementations.  In this presentation, he will discuss the challenges behind this transition.  In addition, Nicholas will share his experience on initiating an outsourcing agreement, the coordination of a transition and thoughts on how to build an ongoing relationship with a new supplier.  The lessons will apply whether you are in a records management function or a logistics function.

The owners expanded the company into a full logistics provider and in 1998, took on an additional partner, KDR, consisting of the late Dave Thomas, son Ken Thomas and Rick Richards. This followed closely with a joint venture with Maersk Logistics, a Division of A. P. Moeller.

 On September 15, 2010, Logistics came calling (again), and Jeff accepted a job with Total Transportation Services (www.tts-us.com) in Frisco, Texas. He is Senior Vice-President of Sales and National Accounts with a “special” focus on Intermodal.

Green technologies are helping to change the way our businesses operate and help the environment. A large part of that initiative is recycling programs that prevent overflow in landfills and properly dispose of our industrial waste.  Please see below for more information on our host site for the February meeting.

Being in one of the top logistics networks in the world enables them to deliver cost-effective waste management and waste recycling programs to their clients through innovative partnerships and smart use of a premier distribution market.
