Production and intralogistics in the consumer goods industry are currently undergoing significant changes. This is the result of rising cost pressures and the need for greater automation as well as increasing product variants and customization. The changes that are taking place also relate to the goal of digitization: Every sensor, every machine, and all people involved in the production and intralogistics processes should be able to communicate with each other at all times. The vertical and, in the next step, horizontal networking of sensors, machines and factories is the systematic further development of this digitalization.

In recent years, the P2P process has moved from being seen as a cost center to becoming a strategic driver. Get it right and organizations benefit from higher process efficiencies, larger cost savings, better inventory control, improved supply chain visibility and faster order cycle times. Highly effective P2P operations build supplier relationships that facilitate the levels of resilience, agility and innovation required to meet challenges such as the coronavirus pandemic. This white paper examines the digital tools helping to optimize your P2P performance.

The adoption of the “Initial International Maritime Organization (IMO) Strategy on Reduction of Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions from Ships” by IMO Resolution MEPC.304(72) in April 2018 demonstrates IMO’s commitment to support the Paris Agreement. The IMO strategy includes initial targets to reduce (as compared to 2008 levels) the average carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions per “transport work” by at least 40 percent by 2030, aiming to pursue 70 percent reduction by 2050; and an ambition to reduce the total annual GHG emissions from shipping by at least 50 percent by 2050. Technical approaches, operational approaches and alternative fuels may be used to achieve these goals.

Effectively managing the delivery of ore through the “pit-to-port operations” from the mining pit, through the plant, to the port where it is loaded onto a ship is a difficult task. It involves the management of discrete teams from the mining operation, plant operations, loading hauling, rail, port operations, marketing, and shipping. Most of these teams are driven by key performance indicators (KPIs) that focus on the group's performance that in some cases is not aligned to the overall efficient pit-to-port operation. For instance, the objective of minimising rehandling cost at the run of mine (ROM) could impact final product quality when loaded onto a ship. For efficient and effective pit-to-port operations it is important to effectively balance the trade-off between each groups operations to maximise profit whilst minimising risk.

As Public Transportation Authorities and Agencies continue to innovate and transform the o erings and services that they provide their users via multiple channels to keep pace with external pressures of alternative transportation methods like Uber & Lyft and autonomous vehicles, the same must go for their underlying technology systems. Transit Executives are looking to change business models and embrace new technologies to compete and improve and streamline the user experience. The Public Transportation sector must continue to secure and attain government funding to support the acquisition of innovative technology o erings, and, most importantly, continue to optimize, and streamline their current business operations to stay lean and e ective while innovating

The new wave of digital technologies that connect markets, empower consumers, and incentivizes innovation—has given birth to the omnichannel world. Consumer Packaged Goods companies now gain key insights into the needs and choices of their consumer through omnichannel interactions, and use this data to digitally reimagine their supply chains. Smarter supply networks are simply better at responding to customer demands.
