While more and more manufacturers are implementing horizontal collaboration in their supply chains, one essentialpoint remains elusive: the role of LSPs. With many manufacturers feeling that LSPs are the ideal orchestrator, thelogistics industry is still largely polarised in its attitude towards horizontal collaboration in the supply chain.
This Town-Hall Discussion creates a high-level discourse addressing the benefits, barriers and long-term effects of horizontal collaboration to LSPs and ways in which vertical relationships can be strengthened during and after implementation.
Get the current stance of the participating 3PLs in regards to horizontal collaboration and what part they see their company and their industry playing in future collaborative supply chain networks.Hear from the panel of 5 top shippers about their experiences with 3PLs whilst working towards a horizontal collaboration and learn what's worked and what hasn't.
After a discussion between the two panels, you will have the opportunity to ask questions to the LSPs and/or the shippers - find out how you can enhance your horizontal collaboration with the right approach to your LSPs!This is an unmissable opportunity to help determine the future of horizontal collaboration and even supply chains in general. Come prepared with questions and ready to fully explore the future role of LSPs within supply chain horizontal collaboration! |

| This is the ultimate tool for partner sourcing led by subject matter experts McKinsey & Co. Delegates will find opportunities for potential collaborations right there in the room based on key supply chain characteristics and needs (all collected before the Summit takes place)!Participants who would prefer not to share this kind of information will take part in a hypothetical simulation giving them the tools to partner source on their own and explore how to: |
- Establish a defined methodology for strategic partner sourcing
- Improve partner sourcing by defining and outlining criteria for potential collaboration
- Establish a base from which to approach potential partners – being open to sharing whilst protecting company information
|

Utilise this session to gain a proven methodology for gain-sharing within collaborative partnerships and learn how to: |
- Fairly distribute complete savings as a result of the collaboration and how to take into account disproportionate levels of added value from participating companies
- Ensure that participants are not at risk for higher costs as a result of collaboration
- Devise a Trustee Structure within the payment process to ensure the distribution of benefits is consistently fair

For the last 12 months, two Top 30 pharmaceutical companies have been working together to develop a fully functional framework for freight flow synchronization, gain sharing and neutral community management. Now, you'll get the chance to hear the step-by-step methods these two companies, a neutral third party and their LSPs used to move from conception to implementation.
This never-before-seen case study will offer you invaluable insight into the early stages, preparation efforts, business case calculation, ICT and managements aspects as well as the first real-life learnings and earnings of this brand new partnership.
This historical storyline will be brought to you directly by the members involved, each sharing their views, experiences and expectations from a personal perspective.
Although fully committed to this project, the two pharmaceutical companies involved cannot be named atthis time due to competitive sensitivity. Names will be announced prior to the Summit taking place.
Learn how the participating parties were able to: |
- Find appropriate commodity flows and suitable bundling partners
- Create trust and transparency
- Calculate synergy effects in terms of cost, service level and carbon footprint
- Agree on a transparent and dynamic gain sharing mechanism
- Carve out the roles and responsibilities of the Cross Supply Chain Orchestrator
- Navigate through the lack of a bespoke anti-trust compliant legal framework
- Synchronise orders and KPI reporting with the Cross Supply Chain ICT Cockpit
- Integrate systems and processes with the 3PL’s
- Develop innovative solutions for community management and invoice flow handling

| Companies who see great opportunity within horizontal collaboration often get intimidated by the thought of having to share their shipment data and set up an entirely new process of managing freight costs. However, Cass Information Systems has developed a solution by which you can: |
- Automatically have transportation costs calculated from multiple players with multiple locations through an independent and transparent party
- Conduct “What If” Analysis by which a company will be able to compare the cost savings made through collaboration by subtracting the influence the collaboration had on the ultimate costs – making it easier to monitor the ROI of the partnership
- Have freight cost payments streamlined and calculated through a neural party so that carriers do not have to many separate invoices and shippers can be assured that the costs are completely accurate
