Why Attend
Freight management is a broad function, that involves planning and executing shipments by all modes of transport. It requires an understanding of routes, rates, goods, customer expectations, carrier profiles, and risk management, whilst making arrangements for shipments, monitoring shipments, and managing transportation documentation. Freight network management requires the right combination of experience, skilled staff, and knowledge to ensure smooth coordination between carriers and shippers.
In today’s competitive environment, the capability to manage freight, in its leanest, fastest, and cost-effective operations, is more important than ever. This is due to constantly changing factors such as leaner shipper inventories, just-in-time manufacturing, rising warehousing and labor costs, tighter delivery timeframes, and consumer demands driven by eCommerce. As globalization continues to evolve, companies must continuously innovate and expand their expertise in accessing international markets. During these times of globalizing trade and commerce, knowing how to streamline processes, and understanding how to move freight across the world has become indispensable.
