Logistics 4.0 – getting the extra value out of transport logistics by integrating advanced optimization techniques into decision processes by Robert Recknagel (flexis)

Abstract: In the past, the optimization of transport logistics has been highly segmented. Where strategic, tactical, and operational planning have been dealt with as distinct and separate entities, companies have suffered from siloized decision-making and a lack of transparency, leading to decisions made on incomplete information. Decision-makers must realize that these different planning dimensions actually represent parts of the same whole that need to be interlinked in an integrated planning funnel to avoid bottlenecks, decision-making siloes, and inefficiencies.
The combination of end-to-end supply chain planning solutions with the operational execution of OTM as strong TMS will allow customers to outperform in their logistics performance.

Profile: Robert Recknagel is Vice President Manufacturing & Logistics at flexis AG, a global provider of end-to-end supply chain optimization solutions. Robert Recknagel graduated in Service Administration management at University of Trier and worked as solution consultant in Europe and South East Asia at alfabet AG, a leading vendor of Enterprise Architecture Management solutions. Following that time, he implemented major international logistics concepts at Rhenus Logistics and built up their 4 PL business.
