[Panel] Turning survival into success - Winning strategies to drive North American vehicle logistics forward
Learn what separates logistics organisations that merely cope from those that thrive amid disruption and transformation.

While cost reduction and competitiveness are essential across the industry, we will discuss how that can be done in a way that ensures OEMs are able to deliver on customer promises, meet launch requirements and be prepared for recovery. Approaches will be discussed that preserve the viability and success of logistics providers and drivers, too.
