navigating the rocky supply chain

play00:10

landscape i'm joined today by mike

play00:12

jarrett he is president and ceo of

play00:14

jarrett logistics hi mike

play00:17

hello bob good to meet you yeah thanks

play00:19

very much for joining me today so with

play00:21

the pandemic lingering

play00:23

fuel prices rising at record speed

play00:26

supply chain bottlenecks having an

play00:27

impact around the world

play00:29

why is it critical to have a fully

play00:31

optimized supply chain today

play00:35

well the most obvious reason for having

play00:37

a fully optimized supply chain is to be

play00:40

able to

play00:41

get your products from your

play00:43

manufacturing facility to your

play00:45

distribution centers and then to your

play00:47

customers

play00:48

as quickly as efficiently as possible

play00:51

so

play00:52

i think you know more than ever

play00:55

going back to the fundamentals bob is is

play00:58

really

play00:59

a key thing for

play01:01

handling what i would consider to be

play01:05

the most difficult supply chain

play01:07

environment that i've been in and you

play01:09

know the 30 years that i've been in the

play01:11

supply chain industry and

play01:14

you know you you talk about fuel prices

play01:16

where they're at

play01:18

capacity constraints

play01:20

um

play01:21

you know sourcing procurement issues

play01:23

that go deep into the supply chain

play01:26

labor shortages

play01:28

you know the driver storage is is

play01:30

been an issue for a long time and it's

play01:32

it's a major issue today

play01:35

so you know i think

play01:37

i think what it comes down to is you you

play01:39

know you either have a broken supply

play01:41

chain or you have a thriving supply

play01:43

chain and one or the other right these

play01:46

days that's right

play01:48

that's right you know a thriving supply

play01:49

chain is is is pretty straightforward

play01:52

it's pretty fundamental a thriving

play01:54

supply chain is one that is fast

play01:56

efficient and reliable

play01:58

you know so if you're a shipper of goods

play02:01

if you have a fast

play02:03

and efficient and reliable supply chain

play02:06

at the base fundamentals you have a

play02:08

truck that will pick up your shipment on

play02:10

time and it will deliver your shipment

play02:12

on time

play02:14

you have real-time visibility of that

play02:16

shipment so you know where that shipment

play02:17

is at at all times

play02:19

and last but not least if something goes

play02:22

wrong

play02:23

you have a responsive person to talk to

play02:26

to find out what happened to your

play02:28

shipment that's really um at the at the

play02:31

base at the fundamental level which i

play02:32

think is where we need to be in the

play02:33

supply chain industry now with all the

play02:35

issues we have let's go back to the

play02:37

fundamentals

play02:38

dealing of course with the reality that

play02:40

there's so much out of our control we

play02:42

can't deal you know we can't control

play02:44

port congestion we can't control a

play02:46

driver's shortage we can't control

play02:48

bottlenecks that are happening because

play02:50

just there isn't enough equipment in the

play02:51

right place so that being the case i

play02:54

guess you're suggesting these are things

play02:55

that you can control in the face of what

play02:58

you can't right

play03:00

that's exactly right

play03:01

yeah you you know you when you work with

play03:03

a 3pl who is responsive

play03:07

um who

play03:08

you know can provide you with a thriving

play03:10

supply chain um one that can get your

play03:13

products to market fast

play03:15

can do it the most efficient way which

play03:17

is to get it there in the least cost

play03:20

way

play03:21

and then last but not least to be

play03:23

reliable be when there is an issue you

play03:26

know i always say this and supply chain

play03:28

is like murphy's law if something can go

play03:30

wrong it will

play03:31

so when something does go wrong you need

play03:34

to have a responsive person

play03:36

available to talk to at all times to

play03:39

find out what's going on with your

play03:40

shipment that's that's a basic

play03:42

fundamental component of having a fast

play03:46

efficient and reliable supply chain a

play03:48

thriving system you're stressing the

play03:50

importance of people obviously but how

play03:52

can technology help

play03:55

technology is an incredible tool and

play03:58

over the 30 years i've been in supply

play03:59

chain technology has evolved so much

play04:03

from the early days when

play04:05

you know edi was was the cutting edge

play04:09

technology and supply chain back in the

play04:11

90s when i first got into supply chain

play04:15

now we have you know cloud networks we

play04:18

don't have to have owned servers in our

play04:21

in our physical facility we have api

play04:24

as a replacement edi api is an

play04:27

incredible tool to use it allows you

play04:29

it's called application program

play04:31

interface it allows you to connect with

play04:33

customers

play04:34

in a very efficient way it's a

play04:36

very cost effective way to be able to

play04:39

connect or tie your systems for you know

play04:41

for example you know customers that have

play04:44

an erp system such as you know oracle or

play04:48

sap

play04:49

to be able to connect to a tms a

play04:51

transportation management system through

play04:53

api is very easy and efficient now

play04:56

and it's a great way for technology to

play04:58

be a tool

play05:00

for

play05:01

us to be able to manage our supply

play05:03

chains more efficiently it's not the

play05:05

end-all though you still need people bob

play05:07

to uh

play05:09

be uh behind the scenes so to speak to

play05:11

make sure

play05:12

that everything is running smoothly now

play05:14

you're saying technology does for all it

play05:16

does it does have its limits right

play05:19

absolutely you know it will um you know

play05:22

artificial intelligence again another

play05:24

thing that we use extensively here at

play05:26

jared

play05:27

you know ai is an outstanding technology

play05:30

it's able to process data you know big

play05:33

data is is available

play05:35

to uh to three pls now and into shippers

play05:39

so what do you do with that big data

play05:41

well you need artificial intelligence to

play05:43

take that data to be able to take

play05:46

previous activities in your supply team

play05:48

to

play05:49

to um

play05:51

to be able to forecast what your supply

play05:53

chain will do next and ai does that for

play05:55

you it's it's one of many examples in

play05:58

our industry now of technology that

play06:01

should be out there and be used as much

play06:03

as possible so where do third-party

play06:05

logistics or 3pl

play06:07

providers come into the picture now

play06:09

they've been around a long time

play06:11

how are they valuable now and how are

play06:13

they involved in solving these

play06:15

challenges that we're talking about

play06:16

today

play06:17

well i'll tell you there's a number of

play06:20

very effective

play06:22

services value-added services to repeals

play06:25

provide in the marketplace today by

play06:27

definition the 3pl is an intermediary so

play06:31

we operate as an intermediary between

play06:33

the shipper and the carriers that allows

play06:37

us as 3pls to utilize technology and

play06:40

people who are subject matter experts in

play06:42

the supply chain industry to manage a

play06:46

customer supply chain again

play06:48

fast efficient and and reliable

play06:51

and and we do that with again with

play06:53

people that understand the supply 10

play06:55

industry and have technology to be able

play06:58

to do the things that a shipper

play07:00

ordinarily either doesn't want to make

play07:03

that investment in the into a tms

play07:05

platform into

play07:06

having people that um have that type of

play07:09

subject matter expertise

play07:11

um

play07:12

or those that that choose to to not go

play07:15

down that path and and so as an

play07:17

intermediary we're able to

play07:21

utilize our knowledge and expertise

play07:24

to manage a customer supply chain and

play07:26

that knowledge and expertise and

play07:28

technology can is scalable is scalable

play07:31

across all of

play07:32

our customers
