Outsourced Logistics

Lake Success, New York – Ocean World Lines (OWL), a global, single source NVOCC (non-vessel operating common carrier) and subsidiary of Pacer International, announced today that it has received the President’s “E” Award for outstanding contribution to U.S. exports by the U.S. Department of Commerce. This is the most prestigious award given by the U.S. government to companies that facilitate export trade and contribute to U.S. job growth and competitiveness.

The award was presented to OWL and freight forwarding unit, RF International, Ltd. by Secretary of Commerce Gary Locke in a ceremony at the U.S. Department of Commerce headquarters in Washington DC on May 16, 2011. OWL is among an elite group of 27 U.S. companies receiving this recognition. Primary criterion for the award is four years of successive export growth, accompanied by identifiable results of programs or activities contributing to export expansion.

“Exports are a key driver of America’s economic recovery,” said Secretary of Commerce Gary Locke. “President Obama’s National Export Initiative (NEI), which aims to double U.S. exports by 2015 in support of several million American jobs, is a robust, forward-looking trade agenda with an emphasis on domestic job growth. Ocean World Lines and RF International are being honored today for making significant contributions toward fulfilling that agenda.”

One of the major contributing factors for receiving the award, according to OWL’s CEO, Dan Gardner, is the nationwide seminar series the company created to help educate exporters about the requirements for conducting trade within the U.S. and globally.

“OWL’s people are recognized in the trade community as the ‘go-to-source’ for superlative trade-related training,” said Gardner. “We are committed to improving the global competitiveness of our customers as responsible and engaged corporate citizens by supplying on-going and relevant training materials designed to enhance their business performance.”

Gardner says receiving the “E” Award underscores OWL’s mantra and commitment to export education: Logistics Excellence Through Applied Learning. “This emphasis on education and training has not only allowed OWL to create jobs for its own staff, but these efforts have directly impacted job creation in the thousands of companies to which we provide export services. The core philosophy of OWL is based on the concept of trade facilitation, and our mission is to help U.S. companies compete in the global economy.”

“If ‘it takes a village’ to properly educate a child, then it takes an entire trade community to make U.S. exporters successful,” said Gardner. “The President’s “E” Award means so much to everyone at OWL because it gives official recognition to the fact that we are turning our philosophy into a competitive advantage for our clients. We are excited about the future and will continue to pursue our passion of being subject matter experts and trade facilitators to the U.S. community.”

President’s “E” Award

The President’s “E” Award was created by Executive Order in 1961 to afford suitable recognition to persons, firms, or organizations which contribute significantly in the effort to increase United States exports. President Kennedy revived the World War II “E” symbol of excellence to honor and provide recognition to America’s exporters. http://trade.gov/cs/eaward.asp

With the continuing competition to contract quality truckers to transport products across country, Intermodal freight shipping provides an attractive transportation alternative to OTR trucking for shipments over 750 miles. Offering economic and environment benefits, in addition to addressing the capacity crunch of available truckers, Intermodal combines the resources of different transportation modes, such as trucking and rail, to get products from the warehouse to their final destination.

As the seasonal increase in chemical shipments begins, the surge in freight volumes cannot be addressed by available fleets. In February, FTR Associates (an industry leader in logistics forecasting) lowered its shipper’s conditions to reflect tightening carrier capacity, particularly in the truckload sector. Noel Perry, FTR managing director and senior consultant, predicts a shortage of 215,000 drivers by the end of this year.

In the competition to retain carriers, shippers will most likely pay a premium for available truckers. They may also find themselves scrambling to find new resources to satisfy additional shipping requirement. Intermodal freight shipping can help alleviate the costs and problems associated with today’s limited capacity associated with OTR trucking.

Intermodal helps lower transportation costs by allowing each mode to be used for the portion of the trip to which it is best suited. An intermodal container makes it possible to change shipment methods, whether it is truck, rail or ship, without individual freight handling. Freight essentially can be efficiently shipped door to door.

Intermodal freight shipping also helps reduce traffic congestion and accidents as well as the burden on overstressed infrastructures. One intermodal train replaces 280 trucks while saving nearly 20% in shipping costs. Three times more fuel efficient than trucks, Intermodal also reduces energy consumption, contributing to improved air quality and environmental conditions. Nearly one billion gallons of fuel can be saved each year just by moving 10 percent of long-haul freight from truck to rail, according to a study by the Federal Railroad Administration.

Railroads also are the safest way to transport hazardous materials. While railroads and trucks carry roughly equal hazmat ton-mileage, trucks have nearly 16 times more hazmat releases than railroads, according to the Federal Railroad Administration.

Is Intermodal transportation right for your company? If you ship products over 750 miles, then you might be a prime candidate. Before you take on this new venture, contact an experienced third party logistics specialist that can evaluate your business situation and opportunities associated with Intermodal transportation. Find a 3PL, like ChemLogix, that offers specialized expertise in the chemical industry and knows how to cost-effectively use intermodal to ship both hazardous and non-hazardous chemicals on an international basis.

Company expands solution for adaptive global manufacturing; latest release improves collaboration via enterprise manufacturing intelligence

PALM BEACH, FL — May 10, 2011 — At today’s Manufacturing Leadership Summit, Apriso instantiated its strategy for global manufacturing with the introduction of FlexNet Manufacturing Process Intelligence (MPI), a real-time solution for manufacturing intelligence and analytics. MPI delivers enterprise wide manufacturing visibility to improve synchronization and control across product supply networks. Global manufacturers benefit from improved flexibility, profitability and customer satisfaction.

“Without a broad business perspective, a company cannot address the strategic issues at the core of business performance and organizational competitiveness. Vital management questions may go unanswered if information is fragmented. Analytics can illuminate … questions only if decision makers can see across regions, business units or processes and consider information from the entire enterprise,” stated Thomas H. Davenport, an author of “Analytics at Work: Smarter Decisions, Better Results” and keynote speaker at this year’s Manufacturing Leadership Summit.

“Apriso’s strategy of enabling adaptive global manufacturing focuses on delivering solutions for companies to build collaborative, synchronized manufacturing operations within and across plants. MPI extends the FlexNet platform by offering a global, real-time intelligence solution across all operations,” explained Tom Comstock, executive vice president of worldwide marketing, product management and strategy at Apriso. “Our customers can more easily correlate information drawn from their entire manufacturing enterprise, gaining real-time visibility and control into manufacturing processes, plants, regions and business units.”

MPI’s operational data store provides instant, standardized access to comprehensive analytics on aggregated production, quality, warehouse, maintenance and labor process data. Features include:

• Real-time data representations – in the form of dashboards, charts and pivot tables, which are updated as new information becomes available while also supporting multidimensional analytics on long-term data

• Global access to all manufacturing sites – to compare and analyze from any location while enforcing metrics standardization

• Unified data repository – to quickly collect and correlate data across all manufacturing operations, resulting in accelerated decision making and greater agility when launching new products or markets

• Predefined and flexible process analytics – preconfigured manufacturing intelligence complemented by ad-hoc analysis capabilities

• Actionable intelligence – drill-down capabilities and FlexNet extensions enable instantaneous action to make the necessary changes to optimize operations

• Included add-ins for Microsoft Excel – to enable rapid data access, analysis sharing and reuse

• Open architecture – built on the Microsoft framework, MPI can be easily integrated with existing Business Intelligence applications

• Data integration wizard – for rapid mapping of standard and extended data elements

“Most manufacturing intelligence implementations are challenged by access to and the changing nature of the data” said John Fishell, vice president product management. “As an extension of the FlexNet platform, MPI addresses this issue by building on the breath of operational data already collected and managed by the FlexNet manufacturing execution system. This architecture ensures data integrity and accuracy for process changes implemented within FlexNet, helping our customers extend the value of a platform-based approach to manufacturing operations management. ”

MPI offers visibility and analytics technology to support Lean, Six Sigma and other continuous improvement initiatives. With FlexNet’s real-time visibility across all operations, manufacturers can move from a loose federation of plants into an agile, tightly synchronized, collaborative product supply network.

About Apriso

Apriso Corporation is a software company dedicated to helping its customers transform their global manufacturing operations. It does so by enabling manufacturers to achieve and sustain manufacturing excellence while adapting quickly and easily to market changes. Apriso’s FlexNet is a BPM platform-based software solution for global manufacturing operations management.
