• Objective: Decrease Inventory Levels & Improve Customer
Satisfaction
• Transition to Made to Order from Made to Stock
• Development of Material Pull Systems (MPS)
− Designed web-based MPS, with physical kanban cards, that aligned
manufacturing value streams with true customer demand.
− Real-time tracking of kanban inventory levels
− Electronic signals from inventory warehouses to appropriate
manufacturing plant
− Lessened warehouse travel time to receive inventory as well as pick
orders
− Transparent to customer delivery and quality expectations
− Increased free cash flow
Focus on Increased Inventory Turns & Free Cash Flow

Daily Backlog / Capacity / Lever Reviews by Plant
Low Backlog – Pull
levers to flex staffing
down or move work
into this area
Healthy Backlog –
no action needed
High Backlog – Pull
levers to increase
capacity or move
work out of area
The supply chain organization understands plant
capacity and will move work between facilities to
balance the demand and meet customer requirements

Governmental
Regulation On
Logistics Industry

Compliance * Safety * Accountability (CSA)
• The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) initiative to
improve large truck safety, and ultimately reduce crashes, injuries and
fatalities that are related to commercial motor vehicles
Three major components to monitor commercial carriers:
1. Measurement
• Safety Measurement System (SMS) collects data through road side & crash
inspections on 7 categories of information called the BASICs
2. Evaluation
• Identifying which carriers require intervention through a policy driven process
• Determining which carriers should be deemed “unfit” using a regulatory process
called Safety Fitness Determination (SFD)
3. Intervention:
• Warning letters, targeted road side inspections, on & off site investigations
• Creation of safety plans, issuing violations and/or claims, Out of Service Orders
Transportation Regulations

Hours of Service (HOS) Rules
• Regulations published by the FMCSA for operators of commercial
vehicles governing the number of hours they may work
Overview:
• Driver is allowed 14 hours “on duty” working within a 24 hour period
• May drive a maximum of 11 hours within that period
• Must have a minimum of 10 hours “off duty” within that period
• May only work 60 hours within a 7 day period
• Must have a minimum of 34 consecutive hours of off duty time between
work weeks in order to “restart” their log

DOT – EPA fuel, greenhouse-gas standards
• In June 2015, a 2nd round of standards was proposed by the
Obama Administration in follow up to its’ 2011 initiatives
− Goal to have it signed in 2016 and effective in 2018
• Over the lifetime of the vehicles sold under the program, the EPA
notes these new standards will:
− Lower CO2 emissions by about 1 billion metric tons
− Cut fuel costs by about $170B
− Reduce oil consumption by up to 1.8B barrels
• Environmental Defense Fund (EDF) estimates the new standards
will spawn the development of higher-efficiency tractor-trailers that
will get 9.5 MPG. (2010 average was 5.8 MPG)
