Description

Join ASCM North Texas Chapter as we host our first in person Professional Development Meeting in a year! We are so happy to be back! Join us for dinner and guest speaker Hanns-Christian Hanebeck Founder & CEO Truckl.io Topic - A Roadmap for Supply Chain Execution Supply chain execution has long been viewed as an ugly duckling by many organizations. Hardly anyone knows what really happens once freight leaves their dock. On one hand, major information systems ranging from ERP to TMS and WMS have traditionally focused on handling planning data e.g., what we think should happen. On the other, we are just now beginning to gain broad access to a multitude of enabling technologies ranging from IOT and sensors to ubiquitous smartphones (BYOD) and ultimately 5G wireless capabilities. Supply chain execution is about to witness a broad and sweeping overhaul that will lead to inter-organizational collaboration such as sharing of data before and during business processes and the joint execution of each task. This talk explores current challenges in supply chain execution using ground transport as an example and presents emerging technologies that alleviate these issues. It will feature a live demonstration of near real-time process execution based on collaboration between multiple parties to a transport process and highlight the integration of different business partners into one seamless flow. The talk concludes with a future outlook of what we may expect over the next three to five years in transportation including the emergence of robotics, autonomous trucks and artificial intelligence.
