World-class logistics practices and systems are the means to simultaneously improve customer service, reduce operating expenses, and minimize capital investments. World-Class Logistics & Supply Chain Strategy presents those world-class practices and systems in a comprehensive and systematic format. The course addresses the changing and increasingly important role of logistics in business; logistics performance measures and benchmarking procedures; world-class processes for customer service and order processing, inventory planning and management, supply chain integration, transportation and distribution, and warehousing; logistics information systems architectures and implementation strategies; and logistics organization design alternatives. The main objective of the course is to teach the participants how to develop a comprehensive logistics strategy to support overall business objectives.
Each attendee will receive a copy of Ed Frazelle's book, Supply Chain Strategy. Supply Chain Strategy is today's most comprehensive resource for up-to-the-minute thinking and practices on developing supply chain strategies that support a company's overall objectives. Drawn from the files of Coca-Cola, Wal-Mart, General Electric, and other companies, this book covers world-class practices and systems used by leading corporations.
DIRECTOR
Edward H. Frazelle, Ph.D., founding director of the Supply Chain & Logistics Institute (SCL)
at Georgia Tech and President and CEO of Logistics Resources International,
directs SCL’s certificate program, the Logistics Management Series. As
an educator, Dr. Frazelle has trained more than 20,000 professionals in the
principles of world-class logistics and has assisted more than 100 corporations
and governmental agencies in the U.S., Canada, Europe, Japan, and South America
in their pursuit of world-class logistics. He has authored, co-authored, and
contributed to eight books and has written numerous articles on logistics which
have appeared in various professional publications. He is a popular speaker
at logistics conferences and symposiums both in the U.S. and abroad.
Dr. Frazelle’s achievements have been recognized by the Council of Logistics Management (Doctoral Research Grant), the Warehousing Education and Research Council (Burr Hupp Fellowship), the Material Handling Institute (MHEF Fellowship), the Institute of Industrial Engineers (Armstrong Award), and Kodak (Educational Grant Award).
As the valedictorian graduate from North Carolina State University, Dr. Frazelle
received the M.S. degree from the School of Industrial Engineering. He continued
his studies at the Georgia Institute of Technology and received the Ph.D. degree
in Industrial and Systems Engineering. Following his graduation from Georgia
Tech, he served on the faculty and subsequently established the Supply Chain & Logistics Institute,
the world’s largest center for logistics education and research. He continues
to be an integral part of SCL’s educational program.
LOGISTICS MANAGEMENT SERIES APPROACH TO EDUCATION
Less than one-third of all logistics projects are successful. Logistics productivity in the United States is stagnant. Logistics technology is not delivering satisfactory business results and in many cases is counterproductive. One major contributing factor to the lack of success in logistics initiatives is that most professionals working in logistics are not educated in logistics. In fact, less than 5% of the professionals working in logistics have an undergraduate, graduate, or professional logistics degree. The Logistics Management Series was created to close the educational gap in logistics. The four comprehensive educational courses help prepare logistics professionals for current and future logistics problem solving situations. It was specifically designed for logistics professionals and managers, across the entire supply chain (procurement, manufacturing, distribution, transportation, warehousing, and retail), who need university-based education and credentials to prepare them for increasing responsibilities in logistics and supply chain management.
LMS CASE SESSIONS
Each course offering includes several LMS Case Sessions, giving students the opportunity to work in small project teams on key issues in logistics and supply chain management. The LMS Case Sessions are designed around the critical steps in developing metrics, process flows, information system requirements, organization requirements, and third-party/vendor selections for customer response, inventory management, procurement, transportation, and warehousing. Students take home the completed works of each working team as a part of their course takeaways.
LOGISTICS STUDY TOURS
A facility tour culminates each course offering allowing attendees to see
first hand the benefits of deploying comprehensive logistics strategies. The
techniques and methodologies covered by Dr. Frazelle are illustrated by touring
a distribution facility that is optimizing innovative strategies and advanced
systems in logistics management such as dynamic picking systems, voice activation
technologies, complex material handling systems, electronic repair services,
and advanced productivity management systems.
