Many thanks to Janice Marquardt for coming over from Iowa, USA to share her wealth of knowledge and experience in procurement. Despite the challenges imposed by extreme weather conditions, we managed to fight through and recorded pretty awesome courses on the following topics: 1) e-Auctions 2) Fleet Purchasing 3) Negotiations Tools Pack All these courses are super practical, which practitioners can apply in their day-to-day work 💪🏼 We hope when the courses will be released you will like it and find it beneficial. #profurement #coursecreator

Looking back at the Logistics Summit 2024 in Düsseldorf, one thing is clear: pallets are essential for a sustainable future, even in difficult times. Digitalization and automation took center stage, but despite all the tech, pallets remain a vital part of logistics. One thing that really stood out was the growing conversation around sustainability. While inflation and rising costs are challenging, they’ve sparked a deeper awareness of the importance of reusable systems. We see this as an opportunity: pallets aren’t just practical – they’re a key part of building a more sustainable future. Even in tough times, sustainable solutions remain crucial, and we’re proud to be driving that forward. We've also noticed that the variety of load carriers is growing, reflecting the push for innovation, but it also presents new challenges. We’re ready to stay flexible and find solutions that work for our customers. The summit confirmed our commitment at LPR - La Palette Rouge Germany to driving innovation and sustainability forward. Excited for what’s next! Ela Saleh Dennis Beutel Christina Feltes #LogisticsSummit2024 #Sustainability #PalletPooling #InnovationInLogistics #Pallets #SupplyChain

"𝙃𝙤𝙬 𝙙𝙤 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙚𝙣𝙫𝙞𝙨𝙖𝙜𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙛𝙪𝙩𝙪𝙧𝙚 𝙤𝙛 𝙇𝙤𝙜𝙞𝙨𝙩𝙞𝙘𝙨?" The first in our mini-series with Thomas Skellingsted of 4D Supply Chain Consulting, with Thomas & 4D SCS coming from the 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗷𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝗟𝗼𝗴𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗰𝘀 side of the industry. Thomas spoke keenly on the topics of 𝗠𝗮𝗻𝗽𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿 & 𝗘𝗱𝘂𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 and how they will shape the future of the Project Logistics World, particularly in attracting talent at an earlier age to an industry perhaps the younger generation know very little about. We also discussed briefly the way 𝗠&𝗔 will shape the outlook of the Project Logistics industry too and how investment from both specialists and more general players will continue to shape the industry's future. This is the first clip of two that we will post with the aim of stimulating conversation around this critical topic - we would love to hear from you as industry occupants as to whether you agree with Thomas' view, and if you would add anything to this specific discussion. Chris Middleton - our divisional lead of Project Logistics at JBAndrews - would also be very interested to connect with those who would like to discuss the topics further directly too. Thank you for listening! #projectlogistics #breakbulk #future #manpower #education #merger #acquisition #talentattraction ---------------------------------------------------------- 🙋‍♂️ Hi, I'm Ben - co-Founder of JBAndrews leading our UK office, and recruiting in the Logistics & Supply Chain space.

German 🇩🇪 Industrial shows 'How the Mighty Falls' - Forget the job losses if DSV takes over DB Schenker – Germany is facing that anyway, at parent Deutsche Bahn. Following the announcement of a €1bn net loss in the first half, the German rail operator and current owner of Schenker has announced 30,000 job cuts over five years – 9% of the workforce. Mostly administrative, some 1,500 jobs will go this year, according to Reuters.

The importance of resilient supply chains – Aurubis’ Group Logistics Director, Patrizia Schwalbe, was part of an expert talk at the TDI 2024 (Day of Industry). The TDI is a major event for economic policy in Germany and addresses relevant debates on global trade and multinational cooperation with many international guests. The TDI is hosted annually by the Federation of German Industries (BDI - Bundesverband der Deutschen Industrie e.V.), the umbrella organization of German industry and industry-related service providers. 🗣️ Together with Dr. Thomas Schulte and Oliver Bendig, she discussed the state of international supply chains and what is needed to further minimize risks for fragile supply chains. The focus of the discussion: the results of a Supply Chain Pulse Check in Germany, which show high pressure on supply chains due to global upheavals and overlapping crises. ❗Patrizia Schwalbe emphasized that Aurubis is implementing various measures for a strong supply chain: Great diversification in suppliers for recycled material and copper concentrates, long-term relationships with our partners, and forward-looking, flexible supply chain management – including artificial intelligence to increase the predictability of events. ✅ Ultimately, we benefit from the strength of our international smelter network at Aurubis: each of our smelters has its own specific advantages and we use the high flexibility of the smelter network to ensure security of supply in production. An exciting exchange with interesting insights into different industries – and important impulses for making supply chains sustainably resilient!  #Aurubis #MetalsforPorgress #TomorrowMetals #TDI24 #SupplyChain

Wake-up Call on Monday 22nd China is Germany's most important trading partner, but the German economy's dependence on China is greater than ever, according to the German Economic Institute. In order not to put additional strain on the mood in economically difficult times, unpleasant topics such as economic espionage on the German side were kept as small as possible. The situation changed on Monday with a double bang: Just on the morning of Monday 22. April a couple and a man were arrested in Düsseldorf and Bad Homburg, who have allegedly been suspected for years of having obtained information about military-use technologies and know-how for the Chinese foreign secret service. In the evening of the same day, the 43-year-old German Chinese Jian G. was arrested in Dresden. What is piquant is that G. is allegedly an employee and close associate of AfD MEP Maximilian Krah. As reported, the German Federal Prosecutor's Office summarizes the allegations as follows: "Jian G. is an employee of a Chinese secret service. Since 2019 he has been working for a German member of the European Parliament. In January 2024, the accused repeatedly gave his intelligence officer information about negotiations and decisions in the European Parliament. He also spied on Chinese opposition figures in Germany for the intelligence service." The case is certainly one among many. But this case was made publicly known, probably because the German government didn't want to make a fool of itself and wanted to show a line to its big business partner. It seems brazen when a member of the European Parliament appears with a dubious assistant who had already become conspicuous and shares confidential information with him. The case also makes it clear that China consciously seeks contacts with political parties and receptive personalities in other countries to influence them. China denies the allegations. In a (relatively) free world, suspected spies seem to find it easy to carry out their covert activities. Not so in China. But a new anti-espionage law was brought into force last year. The law gives Chinese authorities additional resources to act against foreign companies that analyze Chinese data and statistics. Checking economic data, researching, evaluating statistics - these are normal activities in the business world - one would think. But with the new version of the anti-espionage law, Chinese authorities could criminalize such activities more easily than before. But the biggest espionage coup is probably something completely different: TikTok! Nutzung von China-Daten wird riskant: https://lnkd.in/d9y3yrsz

Market Sector Study >>https://lnkd.in/eHyQXJ8 Market Sector: Healthcare Logistical requirements To ensure that the pharmaceutical and healthcare industries can also meet the high demands of the future, manufacturing companies are increasingly relying on intelligent logistics solutions, e.g. in the areas of storage, replenishment, container and general cargo picking. Optimum access control to warehouse stocks or continuous refrigerated storage of medicines are equally important aspects. As almost everywhere, warehouses are becoming more and more automated to increase speed and throughput and reduce the error rate. In the healthcare industry, absolute precision is indispensable.
