For example, if I improve the cost structure in transportation, procurement, manufacturing and sales independently, what decision support framework decides the right trade-offs? This brings me to the unveiling of the outcomes of the two-year project with Georgia Tech. Here is the video of the Georgia Tech conference on metrics.
Mike Carroll, a vice president at Georgia-Pacific, and Ron Norris, director of innovation at GP While Generative AI has sparked great excitement, a form of artificial intelligence called Causal AI might offer much greater potential. Georgia-Pacific (GP) has demonstrated an application of Causal AI to dramatically improve touchless commerce.
For example, if you want to train a vision system to recognize a dog’s image, you will start by using humans to look at tens of thousands of images of animals. Georgia-Pacific has demonstrated an application of Causal AI to improve touchless commerce dramatically. The humans label the pictures as dog, not dog, or unclear.
Based on the modeling completed with help from the IYSE group at Georgia Tech, we found that while a focus on operating margin, revenue/employee and ROCE can drive 73% of market capitalization/employee, while a focus on cost of goods reduces value.

For example, Distribution Requirements Planning (DRP) has nothing in common with Transportation Management (TMS). Optimization by professors at Georgia Tech introduced the concepts of routing software improving pooling, lane skipping, and continuous moves. They are opportunistic. The lesson? Never buy on the basis of a partnership.
For example, carriers can learn how they compare against others bidding for specific lanes and make informed decisions. A graduate of the University of West Georgia, she is a resident of Jacksonville, Fla.
Based on the work with Georgia Tech, we are getting clear on which metrics matter by industry. For example, in manufacturing, the shift in focus is away from OEE to focus on first pass yield and schedule adherence.)

The Coca-Cola Company and Georgia Institute of Technology are working together to turn plastic sheeting into more than 50,000 plastic surgical shields. For example, why is the U.S. These are just a few of the countless and amazing innovations we hear about on a daily basis. Study other supply chains and ask probing questions.
Jason Mathers discussed the 5 Principles of Greener Freight, and provided real-world examples of those principles in action (read the Ocean Spray , Caterpillar , and Boise case studies, and also watch my conversation with Jason from earlier this year on Talking Logistics). Sustainability and Green Initiatives in Transportation and Logistics.
Michael is from New York and moved to Atlanta Georgia in 1985. Example: A shipper or broker posts a load on multiple load boards and then the load is covered by a carrier. In this example, the covered load is now a ghost load, yet dozens of companies don’t know it yet. He is married, with 3 children.
