Amazing and a great example how an integrated approach of consulting, supply chain optimization and execution applications can help you transforming your business and getting more efficient in your operations. Facts speak for themselves… # 1 Do not do anything and see your transportation cost climbing up by 25 %. # 2 Seize the potential of #DigitalTwin technology and settle with a cost increase of about 2 % only. The trigger in Japan were new regulations - What is your trigger?

With eight billion people on the planet and dramatically rising geopolitical, social, environmental, and climate challenges supply chains need to be agile and resilient to keep functioning. We need breakthrough approaches and solutions to work ourselves out of the current complexities. In this BVL blog post, I focus on three fields which I consider to be critical for achieving such breakthroughs. First, human-machine hybrid solutions, as the combination of the two creates a whole that is greater than the sum of their parts. Second, the need for more sustainable practices and products, e.g., a circular economy because we are increasingly forced to slow down the deterioration of our planet which is currently the only habitat of our species. Third, collaboration, as I believe that we are very good in competing but that coopetition, i.e., the collaboration between (competing) businesses is a recipe for creating economic and societal capital in a more balanced way. Technology-enhanced human capabilities, crircular economy, and coopetition will be transformative forces across supply chain networks. #logistics #supplychains #coopetition #sustainability #humanmachinehybrids

Hey LinkedIn community, 🎉 Episode 11 of the Beyond Visibility Lounge podcast is now live! 🎙️ Tune in to listen to Martin Schulze of BlueBox Systems GmbH who shares his insights on collaboration in cultivating end-to-end visibility in the logistics industry. Here’s what Martin highlights: 📡 "They didn’t invent tracking for us to know where the parcel is; they invented that to understand their supply chain better." Visibility is not just about location tracking; it’s about comprehensively understanding the supply chain. ⏲️ Improved visibility significantly boosts on-time delivery rates. 🐌 It also helps identify and eliminate operational inefficiencies, leading to targeted organizational improvements. Martin's experiences working with industry giants like DHL underscore the importance of data utilization and fostering partnerships for advancing logistics operations. 🎧 Tune in for more insights on how end-to-end visibility can transform the logistics industry: 🎙️The full episode goes live on: 🎧 Spotify, https://spoti.fi/3Ub6ahM,  🎧Apple Podcasts, https://apple.co/3QdlBF1,  🎧YouTube Music, https://bit.ly/4aLSK38,  and  🎧YouTube https://bit.ly/3Qcv7Z9 🤔 P.S.

Miebach Consulting/DVZ Logistics Outsourcing Study 2023   Part 10: Outsourcing grows ever more slowly - now also abroad   A significant reduction in the positive prevailing mood can be seen among both German shippers and service providers. The trend from 1998 to 2014, with a continuous decrease in the proportion of those who predicted an increasing logistics outsourcing trend (1998: 66%, 2014: 53%), seemed to be broken in 2017, when an increasing value of 62% could be noted again. This short-term recovery could not be confirmed in 2020: The rate of those expecting a further increase in logistics outsourcing fell to 48%, and thus below the 50% mark for the first time. In the current study, this figure is now 49% and thus still below the 50% mark. This development can be seen both among service providers and shippers. In the other regions considered here, the mood continues to cool. Among shippers in LATAM, the rate of those expecting further growth falls from 71% to 64%, and in the rest of Europe from 77% to 60%. The corresponding rates among service providers are 80% in LATAM and 50% in the rest of Europe.   With this short article our series regarding the 2023 Logistics Outsourcing Study ends. We hope you did enjoy and stay curious for the next logistics discussions! Outlook: We will conduct a European Chemical Logistics Study during the next months and start presenting the results here in Linkedin most probably in Q4/2024.

DHL Freight news! check your tires in Germany! a new law is starting the 01 of October 2024. on that day you need winter tires with the "snowflake" and M+S (match and Schnee/mud and snow) marking (also on all season tires). otherwise you might loose your insurance and you have to pay a 60 to 80 € fine (+ one point in Flensburg for Germans). don't forget having an eye one your tread depth, with a minimum of 1,6 mm and 6 years of overaging. funfact: excluded are 2wheelers and agro vehicles. funfact 2: in Germany we have a winter tire requirement per situation. meaning 16 degress in januar and a summer tire would be ok..... save and happy driving

The last-mile delivery landscape will be radically reshaped by 2030. Within 6 years the perfect storm will happen in the German Parcel market: Cities will impose regulatory restrictions on delivery traffic 🚦 Plus Couriers will have to deliver 5.4 billion parcels 📦 yearly. They forecast a 30% capacity gap between parcel demand and delivery capacity! Simply adding more delivery vans is not a viable solution 🚫🚚 Carriers with alternative transport modes like cargo bikes , parcel lockers , and autonomous delivery shuttles must counter reduced traditional delivery capacity in vans. Bridging this gap requires a joint effort from carriers, shippers, cities, and consumers! 🤝 A collective partnership is needed to optimize processes, generate new capacity, and adapt shopping behaviours to reduce avoidable excessive parcel volumes, such as returns or demand for fast delivery. Cities are uniquely positioned to steer the entire mobility ecosystem and define carrier-agnostic and open/shared solutions.

For our 21st SupplyX Barometer (formerly the Hermes Barometer), we surveyed 150 German logistics managers on the need for optimization in the supply chain. The results show more than half of the companies (51 percent) are already focusing on a holistic analysis of their value chain to exploit optimization potential and increase performance. Efficient supply chain structures are therefore becoming increasingly relevant, especially in a globalized and highly competitive market environment. However, our survey also discovers companies continue to see the practical implementation as a challenge. This is in particular the time and cost involved in implementing the necessary technologies. Legal regulations and communication challenges between the partners involved constitute further hurdles.   It is also becoming clear the effort involved in supply chain optimization pays off and can be mastered in collaboration with an experienced partner: Companies improving their processes and use digital technologies in an appropriate way do not only manage to react more quickly to risks and changing market requirements. With innovative SCM solutions, they are also able to anticipate fast-moving trends and increase their own sales. The entire 21st SupplyX Barometer is available for free download here - I recommend you read it (link in the comments). #SupplyChain #Optimization #Technology #SCM #SupplyX

When your boss speaks plainly... ...he speaks from the soul of over 34,000 DACHSER employees. "Complaining is also a cultural asset here in Germany" is the headline of the Handelsblatt interview with Dachser CEO Burkhard Eling. Want an example from history backing up the headline? The German Renewable Energies Act was passed in 1998. In all the years since, the #energy industry has spent more resources fighting the regulation rather than seizing the opportunities it presented. The result of these years of delaying tactics is that today we are all complaining about and suffering from high energy prices (as I know from my own gas bill). Taking action instead of spending all your energy complaining. It's precisely this attitude that I've learned to appreciate in the #culture of a family-owned business like Dachser. Finally, there are plenty of reasons to be positive about the future of #Germany and the #energytransition. If we look at the substance of the German #economy - especially the strong sector of small and medium-sized enterprises - we have every reason to roll up our sleeves and seize the economic opportunities that the energy transition still brings with it. Here is another example: According to a latest study of Boston Consulting Group (BCG) technologies that can remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere alone could generate a market of almost one trillion euros a year. Thanks to Markus Fasse and Axel Höpner for the fascinating interview. And thanks, of course, to our CEO Burkhard Eling for the straight talk. Click here for the full interview. A must-read for anyone who wants to learn German and understand our country a little better. https://lnkd.in/dPJj3sXu
