The "last mile" of urban freight distribution is essential when looking to improve the competitiveness of companies as well as the economic development of cities, and in general, a sustainable future for the planet. Thus, ensuring on-time deliveries, at a lower total logistics cost, contributing to the competitiveness of cities and with a low environmental impact, requires a new approach and methods. This is our value proposition.
To mitigate and manage risk effectively, companies must first understand where their risks come from and then, determine how likely they will occur. Only then can decision-makers develop and execute plans of action to mitigate as much of the risk as possible. The new methods based on AI (Artificial Intelligence) are now easy to use and apply. In this course, you will be trained in the best risk analysis techniques.
Logistics cost optimization reveals hidden expenses by improving your performance. In a utopic world, everything runs as planned, and then there is the real world where you deal with many unforeseen variables. Logistics cost modeling is significant when looking to improve the supply chain. This approach is insightful to compare different scenarios and identify the best combination of suppliers, transportation modes, inventory, and service levels, as well as the factors that affect the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO).
Logistics is being transformed by a new paradigm called: the "Physical Internet." It is based on similar principles to the internet. Transport and logistics companies can access a network of routes connected by hubs and different modes of transportation that allow them to streamline how goods are shipped from one place to another. More resilience. Less Pollution. Our future today!
As a result of the nearshoring trend and challenges of the current "regionalized" global economy, companies are relying on a geographically dispersed workforce. They take advantage of international diversity, bringing together people from many cultures with varied work experiences and perspectives. All this helps companies compete, however, to communicate and succeed as only one entity is becoming challenging.
The fight against climate change and technological progress are moving companies to become more sustainable. However, the technical challenge of this transformation is testing the logistics capabilities of professionals and companies. Aspects such as battery autonomy, new operating costs, and the adoption of the best logistics practices (loading/unloading, etc.), among others, are creating a clear competitive advantage for those who are today leading the change.
