WEBINAR: From Workforce Planning to Hourly Performance Management: How GEODIS Americas Turned Labor Productivity into a Growth Engine

Every warehouse operation has a workforce plan. The question is how resilient it is when conditions change.

On any given day, volumes may shift. Customer priorities change. Demand profiles evolve. In a complex operating environment, variability isn’t unusual: it’s embedded in the operating model. And when labor productivity underpins service commitments, cost performance, and overall financial outcomes, even modest deviations between plan and reality can carry meaningful impact.

How do leading operations teams close the gap between strategy and real-world execution?

In this executive-level fireside chat, Brandon Wibben, VP of Workforce Planning + Productivity at GEODIS, joins Karl Koehler, COO of Easy Metrics, to discuss how high-performing operations teams manage productivity, performance, and profitability in complex, high-variability environments. Drawing from real-world operational leadership, they’ll explore how data-driven workforce planning, productivity management, and daily execution must come together to protect cost performance and deliver on fulfillment commitments.

The conversation will look at the persistent planning-versus-reality gap that defines high-volume operations – and how leaders can close it.

Attendees will gain practical insights on how to:

– Strengthen the connection between workforce planning and daily operational performance

– Optimize productivity across sites, processes, and shifts with greater precision and accountability

– Preserve cost and margin integrity as product mix, volumes, and complexity evolve

– Translate operational data into measurable financial results

Don’t miss this conversation designed for operations and supply chain leaders accountable for workforce performance and labor costs in complex, high-variability environments.

Tackling Manufacturing’s Billion-Dollar Parts Problem with AI

Organizations face constant challenges in optimizing their MRO (Maintenance, Repair, and Operations) data. With vast amounts of capital invested across assets and sites, managing the risk of downtime becomes a crucial, yet often a neglected task. Optimization becomes impossible when trying to make sense of MRO/spare parts data, tangled in a web of fragmented teams, processes, and technology. And attempting to solve these problems with traditional approaches like data cleanses only results in sub-optimized inventory, temporarily clean data, and reactive maintenance strategies – which are not only costly but also a huge headache for procurement and operations teams. Join us as we explore how AI technologies remove data prerequisites, streamline MRO inventory data management, and unlock significant value for your end-to-end MRO inventory and material supply chain, with your data as is. In this session, we’ll discuss how to: Leverage data-driven insights by enhancing outdated processes and systems with purpose-built AI technologies Find million dollars savings hiding in your MRO, while also improving demand forecasting, streamlining tail spend, and enhancing criticality assessments Improve cross-department collaboration between maintenance, operations, and procurement teams to ensure a unified MRO management approach Boost operational efficiency to optimize criticality assessments, inventory management, minimize downtime, and…
