With supply chain restraints and pressure to go green as the new normal, one company shares its secrets to surviving 2022.
How are fleet managers and strained delivery systems keeping up with consumer trends and supply chain challenges during the COVID-19 pandemic?
Ryder has partnered with the Girl Scouts of Tropical Florida to launch the group’s first Supply Chain Patch.
Hub Group says it’s using artificial intelligence and machine learning to leverage data from its GPS-equipped container fleet to give customers end-to-end visibility, with real-time, dynamic, shipment-level ETAs.
Fleet managers should collaborate with a procurement contract specialists and the company's legal department to review commercial terms of a contract.
Understanding the differences between purchasing and sourcing is vital for fleet management specialists who want to maximize the value of their assets.
The procurement function of researching, negotiating contracts, and purchasing fleet vehicles must harmonize with the management of those assets, so the corporation can achieve the most efficient and best utilization of a fleet’s vehicle lifecycle.
The strategic procurement process typically involves a multifunctional sourcing team. This cross-functional team often designates a “gatekeeper” responsible for controlling the flow of information to the group. When selecting a fleet supplier, I strongly believe the fleet manager needs to be the gatekeeper. Here are the arguments supporting this assertion.
If you implement fleet programs that contribute to the achievement of overall company-wide goals, you will get the attention (and praise) of senior management. You must view vehicle acquisition, replacement planning, funding alternatives, and sourcing alliances with manufacturers and suppliers as high-level strategic corporate decisions. Without long-term planning, it is impossible to have a well-managed fleet.
