This document presents a manifesto for transforming the movement, handling, storage, supply, and use of physical objects globally through a proposed Physical Internet. It argues the current system is inefficient and unsustainable economically, environmentally, and socially. The goal is enabling global efficiency and sustainability through evolving towards a worldwide Physical Internet. Key inefficiencies of the current system like empty travel, underused facilities, and products sitting idle are outlined to support transforming to a more efficient and sustainable model.
Evolving towards a worldwide Physical Internet will enable the global efficiency and sustainability of physical object movement, handling, storage, realization, supply & usage. More than a concept the Physical Internet Initiative is a source of innovation for CEP companies.

Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.

4. Supporting the claim CLAIMThe way Physical objects aremoved, handled, stored, realized, supplied and used throughout the worldisneither efficient nor sustainableeconomically, environmentally and socially
5. Inefficiency and unsustainability symptoms Leading Us Toward Hitting the Wall Real Hard We are shipping air and packaging Empty travel is the norm rather than the exception Truckers have become the modern cowboys Products mostly sit idle, stored where unneeded,yet so often unavailable fast where needed Production and storage facilities are poorly used So many products are never sold, never used Products do not reach those who need them the most Products unnecessarily move, crisscrossing the world Fast & reliable intermodal transport is still a dream or a joke Getting products in and out of cities is a nightmare Networks are neither secure nor robust Smart automation & technology are hard to justify Innovation is strangled
6. We are shipping air and packagingInefficiency and unsustainability symptom 1 Trucks and containers are often half empty at departure,with a large chunk of the non-emptinessbeing filled by packaging Overall, most goods travel by road. In the UK, 65% of all freight is moved by road, or about 160 billion tonnekilometres out of 240 billion tonnekilometres. In the USA, for example, there are 40,000 public carriers and 600,000 private fleets. With so many operators competition is likely to be more intense and pricing more flexible. [1] Transportation costs are the single largest contributor to total logistics costs, with trucking being the most significant subcomponent. Trucking costs account for roughly 50% of total logistics expenditures and 80% of the transportation component. Trucking revenues in 2005 increased by $74 billion over 2004,but carrier expenses rose faster than rates, eroding some of the gain. Fuel ranks as a top priority at trucking firms as substantially higher fuel prices have cut margins. The U.S. trucking industry consumes more than 650 million gallons of diesel per week, making it the second largest expense after labor. The trucking industry spent $87.7 billion for diesel in 2005,a big jump over the $65.9 billion spent in 2004.

A., “Economic Impact of Logistics”, Chap. 2 in Logistics Engineering Handbook , 2008
7. Empty travel is the norm rather than the exceptionInefficiency and unsustainability symptom 2 Vehicles and containers often return empty,or travel extra routes to find return shipments Vehicles leaving loaded get emptier and emptieras their route unfolds from delivery point to delivery point Statistical evidence that around 30 per cent of truck-kilometres are run empty,illustrating huge inefficiency in road haulage and enormous potential for increasing back loading. In Britain, the proportion of truck-kilometres travelled empty felt from 33 per cent in 1980 to 27 per cent in 2004, yielding significant economic and environmental benefits. [1] Other things being equal, if the empty running percentage had remained at its 1980 level, road haulage costs in 2004 would have been £1.2 billion higher and an extra 1 million tonnes of carbon dioxide would have been emitted by trucks (McKinnon, 2005).

8. Truckers have become the modern cowboysInefficiency and unsustainability symptom 3 So many are nearly always on the road,so often away from home for long durations Their family life, their social lifeand their personal health are precarious The shift workers with the lowest mean hours of daily sleep are truck drivers, at 3.5 hours/24 hours Fatigue and sleep deprivation are important safety issues for long-haul truck drivers A National Transportation Safety Board study examinedthe effects of duty shifts and sleep patterns on drivers of heavy trucks involved in single-vehicle accidentsand found that 62 of 107 accidents (58%) reported by drivers were deemed to be "fatigue-related“[1] The American Trucking Association (ATA) has estimated thatthe driver shortage will grow to 111,000 by 2014 [2] References: [1]: “Consequences of Insomnia, Sleepiness, and Fatigue: Health and Social Consequences of Shift Work “, http://cme.medscape.com/viewarticle/513572_2 [2] : Wilson R.A. “Economic Impact of Logistics”, in Chap. 2 in Logistics Engineering Handbook, 2008
9. Products mostly sit idle, stored where unneeded, yet so often unavailable fast where needed Inefficiency and unsustainability symptom 4 Manufacturers, distributors, retailers and usersare all storing products, often in vast quantitiesthrough their networks of warehouses and distribution centers,yet service levels and response times to local usersare constraining and unreliable Stocks are increasingly maintained at a higher levelin response to longer and sometimes unpredictable delivery times, as well as changes in distribution patterns.In 2005, the average investment in all business inventories was $1.74 trillion,which surpassed 2004’s record high by $101 billion. Reference: Wilson R.A. “Economic Impact of Logistics”, in Chap. 2 in Logistics Engineering Handbook, 2008
10. Production and storage facilities are poorly usedInefficiency and unsustainability symptom 5 Most businesses invest in storage and/or production facilitieswhich are lowly used most of the times, or yet badly used,dealing with products which would better be dealt elsewhere,forcing a lot of unnecessary travel When the production function is considered to be a part of the supply chain, there is obviously much that can be done to improve environmental and social performance at this stage [1] The transport and storage of goods are at the centre of any logistics activity, and these are areas where a company should concentrate its efforts to reduce its environmental impacts [2] [1]: McIntyre K., “Delivering sustainability through supply chain management”, Chap.15 in Global Logistics New Directions in Supply Chain Management, (2007) [2]: Cooper J., Browne M. and Peters M., “European Logistics: Markets, management and strategy”, Blackwell, London (1991) Chopra & Meindl, “Facility Decisions and Distribution Network “, 2009_E4.5
11. So many products are never sold, never usedInefficiency and unsustainability symptom 6 A significant portion of consumer products that are madenever reach the right market on time, ending up unsold and unusedwhile there would have been required elsewhere Rusting new cars in disused airfields
12. Products do not reach those who need them the mostInefficiency and unsustainability symptom 7 This is specially true in less developed countries and disaster-crisis zones Countries most affected by high prices are those: which import large quantities of food, whose populations spend a large part of their income on food, where inflation is already high, where there is already food insecurity and which have large urban populations. References: “World Food Programme (WFP)”, http://www.wfp.org/node/7904 “Problems in developing logistics centres for ports in the Escap region”; Chap5, http://www.unescap.org/ttdw/Publications/TFS_pubs/pub_2194/pub_2194_ch5.pdf
13. Products unnecessarily move, crisscrossing the worldInefficiency and unsustainability symptom 8 Products commonly travel thousands of miles-kilometerswhich could have been avoided (1) by routing them smartlyand/or(2) making or assembling themmuch nearer to their point of use Reference: “Virtual Warehousing”, Jeroen van den Berg Consulting, 2001
14. Fast & reliable intermodal transport is still a dream or a jokeInefficiency and unsustainability symptom 9 Even though there are some great intermodal examples,in general synchronization is so poor, interfaces so badly designed,that intermodal routes are mostly time & cost inefficient and risky Reference: Crainic, T.G. and Kim, K.H., “Intermodal Transportation, Chap8 in Handbooks in Operations Research and Management Science”, C. Barnhart and G. Laporte (Eds.), 2007
15. Getting products in, through and out of citiesis a nightmareInefficiency and unsustainability symptom 10 Most cities are not designed and equippedfor easing freight transportation, handling and storage,making the feeding of businesses and users in cities a nightmare References: « Transport des marchandises en ville »,www.transports-marchandises-en-ville.org “Problems in developing logistics centres for ports in the Escap region”, Chap5, http://www.unescap.org/ttdw/Publications/TFS_pubs/pub_2194/pub_2194_ch5.pdf
16. Networks are neithersecurenorrobustInefficiency and unsustainability symptom 11 There is extreme concentration of operations in a limited numberof centralized production and distribution facilities,with travel along a narrow set of high-traffic routes This makesthe logistic networksand supply chainsof so many businesses,unsecure in face of robberyand terrorism acts,and not robust in face ofnatural disastersand demand crises References: Chopra & Meindl, “Facility Decisions and Distribution Network” - 2009_E4.5 “Terrorism - Supply Chain Effects”, http://www.weforum.org/pdf/CSI/Terrorism.pdf “The New Supply Chain Challenge - Risk Management in a Global Economy”, FM Global, 2006 , http://www.fmglobal.com/assets/pdf/P0667.pdf Peck H., “Supply chain vulnerability, risk and resilience”, Chap.15 in Global Logistics New Directions in Supply Chain Management, (2007) “Managing Supply Chain Risk”, Video produced by CFO Research Services, http://www.fmglobal.com/VideoPlayer.aspx?url=/assets/videos/CFO_SupplyChain.wm “Security, Risk Perception and Cost-Benefit Analysis”, Joint Transport Research Centre OCDE Summary & Conclusions – Discussion Paper #2009-6, March 2008
17. Smart automation & technology are hard to justifyInefficiency and unsustainability symptom 12 Vehicles, handling systems and operational facilitieshave to deal with so many types of materials, shapes and unit loads,with each player independently and locally deciding on his piece of the puzzle This makes it very hard to justifysmart connective technologies (e.g. RFID & GPS),systemic handling and transport automation,as well as smart collaborative piloting software References: Montreuil B., Facilities Location and Layout Design Chapter 9. in Logistics Engineering Handbook (2008) Hakimi D., Leclerc P-A., Montreuil B., Ruiz A., « Integrating RFID and Connective Technologies in Retail Stores », RFID in Operations and Supply Chain Management - Research and Applications, Erich Schmidt Verlag, 148-171, 2007.Spada Sal,“Material Handling Control System Software Extends Supply Chain Visibility “nov.15, 2001 http://www.arcweb.com/ARCReports2001/Material%20Handling%20Control%20System%20Software%20Extends%20Supply%20Chain%20Visibility.pdf Sunderesh S.

24. The Inspiration for the VisionJune 2006: The Spark A great front page one-liner Interesting yet mainstream supply chain articles Nothing like what I perceiveda Physical Internet should be I rapidly got passionate about the question What should or could be a full blown Physical Internet? What would be its key features? What capabilities would it offerthat are not achievable today? Another question surfaced rapidly:Why would we need a Physical Internet?
25. The Digital InternetBuilding Upon and Expanding Beyondthe Information Highway Metaphor When the digital world was looking for a wayto conceptualize how it should transform itself,it relied on a physically inspired metaphor:Building the information highway References “BCNET's Optical Regional Advanced Network Upgrade Completed”, http://www.bc.net/news_events_publications/newsletters/Dec_2007/ROADM_Completion.htm “What the Telecom Industry May Look Like in 10 Years”, http://kennethmarzin.wordpress.com/2008/01/24/what-the-telecom-industry-may-look-like-in-10-years/
26. The Digital InternetBuilding Upon and Expanding Beyondthe Information Highway Metaphor Well, they have achieved their goal and went farther,reshaping completely the waydigital computing and communication are now performed They have invented the Internet,leading the way to the World-Wide Web They have enabled the building ofan open distributed networked infrastructurethat is currently revolutionizingso many facets of our societal and economic reality References: « Internet 2, le Web de demain », /http://www.futura-sciences.com/fr/doc/t/telecoms/d/Internet-2-le-web-de-demain_582/c3/221/p1 http://www.20minutes.fr/article/353755/Economie-Surendettement-Christine-Lagarde-ne-veut-pas-interdire-le-credit-revolving.php « rE-veille: réflexions sur l’aventure Internet », http://reveille.wordpress.com/

92. Physical Internet11. Prioritize webbed reliabilityand resilience of networks The overall Physical Internet network of networksshould warrant its own reliabilityand that of its containers and shipments. The webbing of the networks and the multiplication of nodesshould allow the Physical Internet to insure its own robustness and resilience to unforeseen events. For example, if a node or a part of a network fails,the traffic of containers should be easily reroutable, as automatically as possible Reference: Peck H., “Supply chain vulnerability, risk and resilience”, Chap. 14 in Global Logistics New Directions in Supply Chain Management, 2007

94. It not only transmits information from any one point to any other point within the network, it also insures its coherence and avoids its corruption by external elements, notably through its data encapsulation in packets.
95. The Physical Internet’s actors, movers, routes, nodes and flowing containers should interact in synergy to guarantee:The integrity of physical objects encapsulated in -containers The physical and informational integrity of -containers, -movers, -routes and -nodes The informational integrity of -actors (humans, software agents) The robustness of client-focused performance in delivering and storing -containers.

96. Physical Internet12. Stimulate business model innovation Multiple actors with innovative business modelscommercializing novel offersenabled by and adapted to the Physical Internet,with innovative revenue models for the various stakeholders What are to be the -enabled equivalents ofAmazon, eBay and Google? How are to evolve the manufacturers, distributers, retailers,transporters and logistics providers so as to best exploit the Physical Internet? How are to evolve the material handling and transportationsolution and technology providersso as to best thrive from the emerging Physical Internet?
97.
98. In the Physical Internet, the transmission of a container generates non negligible costs for each of the operators having taken charge of some part of the transmission
99. It is thus necessary to define business models for commercializing offers as well as operator revenue modelsThere currently exist examples paving the way to realize this, notably in the airline industry Reference: Crainic, T.G. and Kim, K.H., “Intermodal Transportation”, Chap. 8 in Transportation, Handbooks in Operations Research and Management Science, Barnhart C. and Laporte G.

101. The advent of the Physical Internet will surely have the same impact, stimulating business model innovation:In the various logistic and transport industries, the technology and solutions providers, third-part operators, Physical Internet and Supply Web software services, and so on In the production, distribution and retailing industries, with business models exploiting the open supply web capabilities enabled by the Physical Internet

108. Physical Internet ImplementationProgressive Deployment, Cohabitation and Certification The widespread development and deploymentof the Physical Internetwill not be achieved overnight in a Big-Bang logicbut rather in an ongoing logicof cohabitation and of progressive deployment,propelled by the actorsintegrating gradually the Physical Internet waysand finding ever more value in its usage and exploitation
109.
110. The Physical Internet can constitute itself progressively through the multi-level certification of:Protocols Containers Handling and storage technologies, distribution centers,production centers, train stations, ports, multimodal hubs Information systems (e.g. reservation, smart labels, portals) Urban zones and regions, inter-country borders
111. Conclusion(1/2) This manifesto has outlined a bold paradigm breaking visionfor the future ofhow we handle, store, transport, realize, supply and usephysical objects across the world It proposes to exploit the Internet,which has revolutionized the digital world,as an underlying metaphor for steering innovationin the physical sphere The outlined Physical Internet does not aimto copy the Digital Internet,but to inspire the creation ofa bold systemic wide encompassing visioncapable of providing real efficient and sustainable solutionsto the problems created by our past and current waysand by our vision toward which we should aim
112. Conclusion(2/2) With this manifesto and its underlying research,a small step has been made A lot more are needed to really shape this visionand, much more important,to give it flesh through real initiatives and projectsso as to really influence in a positive wayour collective future This requires a lot of collaborationbetween academia, industry and governmentsacross localities, countries and continents Your help is welcome
