Logistics achiever awards seminar

The logistics achiever awards seminar is a one day event that showcases eight of the winning case studies from the prestigious 2011 logistics achiever awards.

The following case studies will be presented:

Zambia Sugar / Barloworld Logistics - A cross-border collaboration
Zambia Sugar, operator of the biggest sugar mill in the southern hemisphere, embarked on an expansion plan that would effectively double the company's output, but the existing logistics structure was not designed to cater for the sudden increase in volumes

Afrox SA / VSc Solutions - Cutting costs and improving efficiency through fleet and distribution optimisation
Afrox competes in a highly competitive market with many challenges, the main requirement being to reduce costs across the board

Total SA Lubricants/Unitrans Supply Chain Solutions - Oiling the cogs
What began as a local KwaZulu-Natal consulting study in 2006, became the basis of a complete supply chain redesign and implementation project

Pick n Pay / CHEP - Total management of fresh produce returnable plastic containers
Pick n Pay's future strategies anticipated an increased reliance on central distribution and a drive to remove secondary packaging from the supply chain. The company recognised that it's self-owned and managed pool of returnable plastic containers (RPCs) in its perishables supply chain was a major constraint.

Imperial Air Cargo - A specialised courier and express air cargo solution
Until 2006 the SA courier and express industry faced a major challenge to find an alternative to road or rail based hub-to-hub express services for high value and time-critical cargo. Imperial Air Cargo offered the solution.

Woolworths - Minimising the DC impact
The design and development of a world-class sustainable distribution centre
