“The problems we have today cannot be solved at the same level of thinking we had when we created them.”– Albert Einstein

As companies have survived the “great recession” they’ve learned that they must find ways to get more, produce more, and enhance performance – all while facing more challenges and having access to fewer resources at the same time. Dealing with this challenge is one of the top 3 issues facing management teams today; and is especially important for mid-market companies looking for growth.

Today, shippers deal with an unprecedented set of challenges, including:

• Constrained capacity
• Restricted capital
• Increased regulation
• Reduced pool of qualified drivers
• Higher transportation costs
• Unprecedented time pressures

Leading manufacturers and distributors realize that the logistics and supply chain function represents a critical, yet often latent, opportunity to enhance and exploit a company’s competitive advantage. The fundamental commonality among these leading companies is how they view their logistics function through the prism of making investments, rather than incurring expenses.

Traditional, tactical approaches to logistics management are not enough to enable mid-market companies to overcome these barriers. Solving these problems requires an integrated, holistic approach.

It requires taking a long-term, full-view approach to logistics management, understanding and embracing a total cost viewpoint rather than a zero-sum, “minimize the line-item” approach.

Companies that take such a strategic approach to logistics, and give the logistics function the “seat at the table” it deserves, will enjoy considerable operational advantages that will give them superior control over their costs, greater predictability and a vastly improved competitive position.

For more than 25 years, Dupré Logistics, LLC has enabled mid-market manufacturers and distributors to eliminate the invisible costs that occur in their distribution and supply chain processes.
