Description
The session will help global supply chain executives construct a total supply chain for international shipping. In the process of doing this, the session will explore current issues involved in shipping internationally to and from sourcing hotspots such as China, Malaysia, and Latin America. The presenter will draw from benchmarks, company examples, pictures, video clips, and interactive quiz questions. The content will be based on Boston Logistics "Logistics in..." studies, which through a series of mostly live-onsite sessions in various countries, has explored the current challenges and opportunities facing global shippers today.

    2. Know whether transit times and rates are competitive
