HICKORY, NC, April 15, 2009 – Transportation Insight, LLC, and Total Insight, LLC, expand their professional services by hiring Eric Lail as Director of Lean Solutions for Total Insight.

In continuing response to the changing market, Paul Thompson, CEO of Transportation Insight, and Gary Ledford, Vice President of Total Insight (previously Petra International), are adding Eric Lail’s talents to Total Insight’s Business Solutions division.

According to Gary Ledford, “Eric brings a strong background in Lean enterprise solutions and continuous improvement to our organization.”  Lail trained with Toyota, Shingijutsu, and TBM Consulting Group.  He held previous positions with HON Industries, Hickory Chair Company, Kohler and Vanguard Furniture Company, ranging from a Lean Consultant to Vice President of Operations.  Eric also managed his own Lean consulting practice which served companies at the beginning and throughout their Lean journey.

Lail’s approach to Lean has its origins in the Toyota Production System model.  Toyota has been a Lean manufacturer for over 50 years and is considered a world leader in process improvement.

Since training with Toyota, Lail has found that “many Lean manufacturers report better operational and financial performances than their non-Lean competition.”  For example, among manufacturers using Lean methods, sales per employee have a median of $176,000 versus $37,000 for manufacturers not using Lean.  On-time delivery averages 96% among Lean users versus 85% among non-Lean organizations.  Lail continues, “Our focus is not necessarily on making employees work faster.  Our focus is on driving out the non-value added steps within a process enabling overall lead-times to the consumer to be reduced by 50% or more and quality defects to be eliminated.”

Kewill and Deringer Achieve Another Industry-First  April 13, 2009 - Chelmsford, MA. - Kewill (LSE: KWL), a leading provider of solutions that simplify global trade and logistics , today announced that A.N. Deringer, Inc., one of the largest, privately held Customs Brokers in North America, is the first to have filed a Customs Entry through US Customs and Border Protection’s Automated Commercial Environment (ACE), using  Kewill’s innovative solution. Kewill’s automated solution accelerates the clearance process of imports by facilitating the submission of Entry Summary data directly through ACE.   This new technology provides Deringer with a distinct competitive advantage by allowing them to meet the evolving requirements of CBP and the needs of clients.  Jake Holzscheiter, President and CEO of Deringer commented, “In our 90 years, Deringer has been a pioneer for many Customs initiatives, and having Kewill as a strategic partner allows us to continue this heritage.   As an early adopter of entry data filing through ACE, Deringer reaffirms its commitment to helping importers better manage their regulatory compliance.”   

Those filing entries through ACE will reap immediate benefits including the ability to electronically review and respond to CBP’s CF28s, CF29s, and marking notices through the importers own ACE portal.  Importers will also have the option of attaching an electronic file containing supplemental materials and using the ACE portal to track the status of their submissions, ensuring CBP has received the requested documentation.

  “Being a Trade Ambassador and working closely with CBP for 5 years, has provided Kewill with visibility into the latest initiatives so we can continue to invest and provide leadership in the standards to the importing community,” said Celeste Catano, Kewill’s principal business analyst and the Trade Co-Chair of the Trade Support Network (TSN) Transition Committee.  “The deployment of the first release of the Entry Summary processing delivers many changes into the hands of the filers.  This release will be a benchmark to measure future successes with ACE as this lays the groundwork for the functional requirements anticipated over the next few years.”  

Other Industry Firsts for A.N. Deringer, Inc. include:

• Earned one of the first Customs Brokerage Licenses (US Customs Brokerage License #22)

RALEIGH, NC, April 15, 2009 — President Barack Obama said Tuesday that “we are beginning to see glimmers of hope” for economic recovery. At the same time, Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke noted that the recession may be bottoming out, despite disappointing news that retail sales fell in March.  

Jim Tompkins, global supply chain expert and business blogger, agrees that the economy is on an upswing, and what he calls the “The Great Comeback” is either here or right around the corner. “It really depends on your industry sector,” Tompkins says. “And although 2009 will continue to be difficult, the global and technological nature of today’s business operations actually works to hasten the recovery.” 

To help companies better understand and prepare for The Great Comeback, he advises taking these seven realities to heart:   

1.  Different Bottoms Exist 

A sector-by-sector comeback has begun. Different sectors will hit bottom at different times, starting with food, cosmetics, beverage, pharmaceuticals and inexpensive consumer electronics in the second quarter of 2009.   

2.  Comeback to Be Rapid and Global 

The global economy is connected and integrated, which caused a rapid, responsive global downturn and a Great Recession that is both deep and global. Likewise, The Great Comeback will be rapid, responsive and global – moving beyond recovery to include increased market share, growth and prosperity.  

3.  Consumer Confidence Is the Driver 

Consumer spending and confidence is returning. U.S. consumers will continue to spend on necessities and will gradually gain confidence to begin spending on discretionary and big-ticket items. This will lead to an increase in business volume in the U.S., which will result in capital investment in China, which will in turn result in the improvement of the European marketplace. 

4.  Investor Confidence Lags Behind  

Investor confidence will not return this year. Capital spending, housing starts and unemployment will continue to be a problem throughout 2009 and much of 2010. 

5.  Knowledge Equals Power 

Understanding the economy, the marketplace, competitors and government involvement will allow companies to project the timing and level of sales during the comeback.  

6.  Upgrading and Benchmarking Are Key 

Benchmarking and best practices and business process upgrades will serve as key tools for organizations to reach new performance levels.  

7.   Shake off the Funk and Plan 

Beginning now, shake off the funk of the Great Recession and plan for the comeback.

WATERLOO, ONTARIO — April 14, 2009 — Descartes Systems Group, a global on-demand software-as-a-service (SaaS) logistics solutions provider, announced that CEVA Logistics, a leading global supply chain management company, is using Descartes Cargo 2000 to help it comply with business process and automation standards established by the International Air Transport Association (IATA).

CEVA, a long-time Descartes customer, recently undertook an initiative to improve the quality and timeliness of the data that it exchanges with its air carrier partners. CEVA started by adding Descartes Quality Monitor solution to monitor the content and delivery of its existing logistics messages. CEVA Logistics then joined Cargo 2000 and deployed Descartes’ Cargo 2000 solution with its existing portfolio of Descartes solutions to enhance its air cargo messaging business process.

Descartes Quality Monitor and Descartes Cargo 2000 are both value-added solutions available over Descartes’ Global Logistics Network (GLN), one of the world’s largest multi-modal networks for exchanging logistics data. Both solutions are designed to help reduce errors and increase accuracy in electronic logistics messaging while helping users, such as CEVA, comply with Cargo 2000 certification.

Cargo 2000, an industry initiative led by IATA, was created to standardize processes that improve efficiencies for the worldwide air cargo industry. Descartes has supported IATA’s Cargo 2000 initiative since 1998.

“At CEVA, we are committed to streamlining our operations and improving our service by embracing Cargo 2000 standards,” said Richard J. Zablocki, VP Air Products, CEVA Logistics. “We are already working with Descartes to improve the quality of our logistics messaging data, so going one step further to use Descartes’ solutions for Cargo 2000 compliance was a natural decision.”

Using Descartes Cargo 2000, CEVA can monitor shipments at a master air waybill level between airports; monitor events and match route map milestones against actual event timing; consolidate status data of multiple route maps to obtain statistical data about transportation quality; and use route maps to describe transportation milestones from origin to destination.

“CEVA is a long-time Descartes customer, and we are pleased that we could extend the value we deliver to them over our GLN to help them comply with Cargo 2000,” said Scott Sangster, Vice President, Global Logistics Network at Descartes. “Descartes enables our customers, like CEVA, to become Cargo 2000 certified and use the power of the GLN to improve the overall quality of the air cargo shipment process.”

We provide end-to-end design, implementation and operational solutions in contract logistics and freight management to large and medium-sized national and multinational companies.
