Outsourced Logistics

Weber Distribution, a leading third party logistics and supply chain management provider, announced today that it has changed its name to Weber Logistics, effective immediately.

“Our name change to Weber Logistics is long overdue,” said Bill Butler, Weber’s president and CEO. “We have been providing multiple supply chain offerings to our customers for many years. The name ‘Logistics’ is far more descriptive of what we do for our customers and it covers a broader range of supply chain services.”

Over the last 10 years, Weber has evolved into a nationwide provider of logistics solutions and currently offers 5.2 million square feet of warehousing space. Weber’s expertise includes non-asset based freight management, temperature controlled asset-based LTL and TL services, dedicated and shared warehousing, distribution, cross-docking/pool distribution, transloading, network optimization modeling and analysis, retail compliance, order fulfillment, material handling, supply chain management, real estate development, and personnel staffing.

“The Weber name is the brand that has been in business and going strong for 86 years. We are simply updating our look with a fresh, bold and innovative new logo and more fitting name,” said Butler. “Our new logo shows forward motion and better represents our dedication to providing innovative and creative solutions to our customers’ complex supply chain issues.”

“Our new tagline is Delivering Value Through Innovation,” said Butler. “By this we mean Weber Logistics is asset ‘agnostic’ – we offer both asset and non-asset based services to drive excess costs out of our customers’ supply chains. It’s not just about filling our warehouses with product – we are all about value.”

Weber’s menu of services remains unchanged. “We are continuing to deliver nationwide solutions for our retail-import, food & beverage, CPG, chemical and confectionary customers,” said Butler. “In fact, we serve many well-known and respected companies such as Safeway, General Mills, Hershey, Nestlé, Spectrum Brands, California Innovations, Scholastic Books, and PPG Industries, to name a few.

Butler also noted Weber has a very strong focus on its people. “We have introduced Weber University which provides our employee’s with a high level of education and increases retention. Many of our employees have been with us for 10, 20, and even 30 years. At the same time, we have brought on a fresh and innovative Executive Management Team whose goal is to relentlessly pursue the latest cost saving logistics solutions for our customers.”

Lake Success, New York – Ocean World Lines (OWL), a global door-to-door and end-to-end NVOCC, announced today that it has moved seven sculpture pieces, weighing more than 117,000 pounds, from the Port of Barcelona to the Port of Savannah for consignment at a major New York gallery and exhibition in Orlando, Florida starting next month.

At the Port of Barcelona, the iron and concrete-made sculptures were loaded onto two 40-foot, over-dimensional flatracks and one 40-foot container. Two of the sculptures weighed 28,000 pounds and the other five approximately 12,000 pounds each and they arrived at the Port of Savannah last week after a 14-day transit.

The sculptures were created by a well-known Spanish sculptor, Eduardo Chillida Juantegui, who lived from January 10, 1924 to August 19, 2002. He was best known for his massive and monumental abstract works and his largest piece in the United States titled, “De Musica” is 81-tons of steel.

“We have been carrying works of art regularly for this customer, but moving these sculptures was particularly exciting given their size and that they were created by a world-famous artist,” said Cord Bruegge, OWL’s managing director for Europe. “The OWL Iberica office and OWL Miami office worked closely together to make this move a success from start to finish. It’s not too often we carry a single shipment worth that value and we were, of course, backed by a great insurance policy!”

New solution improves asset utilization and reduces costs by synchronizing maintenance processes with manufacturing operations for greater uptime and agility

LONG BEACH, CA – December 2, 2010 — Apriso, a leading provider of software solutions for sustained manufacturing operational excellence, today announced general availability of FlexNet Maintenance 2.0, an innovative maintenance management solution built on a native Business Process Management (BPM) architecture, in order to achieve and sustain manufacturing excellence.

Best in class manufacturers are now implementing FlexNet Maintenance 2.0 to enable real-time visibility, control and synchronization of maintenance operations with global production, quality, warehouse and labor processes. Improving coordination and collaboration between maintenance and manufacturing operations improves flexibility and responsiveness, resulting in increased equipment uptime and lower manufacturing costs.

“Everyone here at Hitachi is very glad we made the change to Apriso’s FlexNet. To sum it up, FlexNet offers much more flexibility than our previous system (it’s living up to its name!) in changing PM schedules, due dates and assignments while at the same time is much more user-friendly,” stated Kristi Dean, Production Engineering at Hitachi Computer Products (America), Inc. “FlexNet gives us the ability to record both the preventive and reactive maintenance history on equipment. This is important, because it gives us a more complete look at what has happened to a piece of equipment, contributing to increased efficiency and improved uptime.”

According to a recent AMR Research study*, manufacturers seek greater agility, real-time visibility and centralized IT services to respond faster to changing market conditions. Applied to maintenance management, the study affirms the need for greater global collaboration across of manufacturing operations management – including a way to standardize and centrally manage maintenance processes.

In alignment with this research, FlexNet Maintenance 2.0 offers expanded capabilities of what maintenance management should comprise, which starts with a unified, platform-based solution that can synchronize maintenance activities with both manufacturing operations (ex: manufacturing execution systems) and other enterprise systems. FlexNet Maintenance 2.0 with its native BPM architecture simplifies end-to-end process creation, standardization and integration to existing enterprise applications, resulting in greater real-time visibility and control to the shop floor.

Download a free white paper “It’s Time for Maintenance 2.0” to learn more on how a collaborative, maintenance management solution built on a global manufacturing platform can simultaneously reduce costs while improving manufacturing excellence. White paper is located at apriso.com.

Apriso has redefined maintenance management by:

* Going beyond a “stove-pipe” view of maintenance by unifying maintenance to enable greater coordination and collaboration across all manufacturing operations

* Breaking a plant centric focus by enabling a global approach to maintenance management

* More effectively integrating Maintenance Management with what has traditionally been overlapping ERP-based asset management

* Delivering a Business Process Management (BPM) architecture which enables significantly greater flexibility in defining, improving and distributing Maintenance Best Practices

Coordinating maintenance with production, quality and warehouse activities reduces disruptions to operations, increasing equipment uptime and improving productivity. FlexNet’s BPM architecture supports Lean and TPM initiatives by enabling maintenance value streams to be visually prototyped and then implemented as standardized business processes. By reducing non-value add activities such as gathering spare parts and tools or filling out requisitions, engineers get more “wrench” enabling more preventive maintenance without increasing staff, reducing time spent on only break-fix operations.

“It is essential that manufacturers have an enterprise system to maximize operational efficiency while protecting manufacturing assets and meeting important safety and compliance regulations,” said John Fishell, vice president product management at Apriso. “With FlexNet Maintenance 2.0, workflows can be established to include safety instructions, checklists and machine events that ensure standardization and compliance, so best practices can be implemented across the whole organization.”
