Thursday, April 4th, 2019

11:50 CASE STUDY PRESENTATION: How to help both shippers and logistics service providers to collaborate: get real-Time visibility, leverage productivity an make the best use of constrained capacities

Frank is responsible for operations management of Covestro’s transport operations throughout Europe, Middle East and Africa. Managing the safety, reliability and efficiency of a large diverse logistics networks, involving all modes of transport and spanning such a large geographic area, requires a continuous systematic improvement effort and constant communication on all levels. Frank has been a strong promoter of collaboration and deeper integration of processes along chemical transport chains. One of his biggest achievement has been the establishment of a large scale dynamic transport management platform for European bulk transports in tank container and road tanker across Europe. In his presentation he will highlight the opportunities which he is convinced are offered by digitalization and how a more dynamic approach towards managing chemical transports can help to make chemical transport more sustainable

· Cloud based logistics platforms as key enabler to digitization of the whole supply chain

· Reaching real time visibility for all partners involved

· Using the advantages of collaborative networks

· Intelligent & dynamic allocation strategies

· Best practice solutions for the chemical industry

12:10 ALL STAR PANEL: How is digitalization about to change the way of working between chemical shippers and their transport and logistics service providers?

How can transport service providers and shippers retain strategic control over their business while interacting via digital freight exchanges or 4PL-led dynamic transport management platforms?
Who will be the future “orchestrator” of our pan-European chemical transport- and logistics networks?
Does this new way of working, taking transport planning decisions far closer to real-time, provide sufficient security of both supply and demand for strategic planning purposes?
Do we need another business model to allow shippers & LSP’s working digitally and transactionally together or is this a 4PL role? Why ? Why not?
How should shippers and LSP’s manage digital projects in a ‘multi-enterprise’ project governance context? Is there a preferred project governance model?
