Strategic Supply Stream - Developing perspective- C-TPAT, ISA, Trusted Trader SRM/SSRM

Rigidity is the enemy of any supply line. We must maintain fluidity in the motion of logistics. This training will provide valuable information on both hard and soft processes that can be adopted that will result in an improved supply stream that is both strong and flexible.

We will consider processes that harden the exterior surface against outside forces. We will also look at the application of completely different processes that cause the interior composition to be more flexible, pliable, and at the same time resilient.

A New Perspective:

The Hard Exterior: C-TPAT, ISA, Trusted Trader

The C-TPAT program was specifically designed to harden the exterior of your supply stream against physical threats, as well as addressing trade compliance and enforcement. It is a top to bottom approach to security that provides measurable, repeatable action driven initiatives that combine elements of compliance that, hopefully, also yield trade advantages for its participants.

US law makers have challenged US Customs & Border Protection to expand the 12,000 membership of C-TPAT to some 40,000 certified participants as quickly as possible. The C-TPAT/ISA/Trusted Trader initiatives are well on the way to yielding precisely what the developers are hoping for. However, I believe this is only half of what is needed by the global supply stream. The other half of the answer lies in:

The Pliable Interior: SRM/SSRM

Supplier Relationship Management/Strategic Supplier Relationship Management are precisely some of the elements that are required to bring together the flexible elements of your supply stream. SRM/SSRM matches the decision makers for the customer as well as the supplier (at every level). Customers with their counter parts in the supplier roles to insure that:

• Every decision maker level is matched, customer and supplier.
• Every decision maker role is matched, customer and supplier.
• Everyone uses common communication tools.
• Decision makers act as the result of decisions agreed upon with their counter parts.
• Commitment to communication is paramount.

• Building a supply stream profile
• Identifying supply stream flow restrictors (risk assessment).
• How to apply C-TPAT elements to your business to determine what works for you.
• Examples of how to assimilate government mandated compliance requirements with profit yielding supplier management elements.

Those who would benefit from this knowledge are all professionals who work in the supply stream organization, which includes:

• CEO, CFO, CIO
• Purchasing/Procurement
• Engineering
• Process Control
• Manufacturing
• Quality
• Safety/Environmental
• Logistics
• Warehousing
• Transportation
• Import/Export
• Freight
• Shipping

25+ years of experience in Logistics/Transportation/Manufacturing. Import Export Compliance.

15+ years of SCM experience in inventory procurement control and warehouse replenishment. This includes working with numerous ERP/MRP systems to include IBM AS400, Oracle based JD Edwards, Syteline and SAP. I have implemented ground-up inventory control processes to include annual physical inventories, as well as cycle count processes to achieve inventory exemption.

I have 20 plus years of valuable experience in the administration and execution of compliance activities driven by various charter mandates of the US CFR. In particular, the EAR (Export Administration Regulation), which regulates all levels of foreign trade. I also have experience in the administration of compliance requirements of US DOT, IMDG, and IATA.

In addition, I have considerable experience in the execution and administration of annual purchase contracts for all levels of foreign, and domestic transportation services with regard to parcel, TL, LTL, intermodal, air, and sea carriers. I served in parallel as Facilities Manager where I over saw all physical plant operations, as well as manufacturing process support and HAZMAT training.

I am a quick start in picking up new compliance requirements, and with great anticipation I look forward to the opportunity to add my energy and experience to the team.
