WEBINAR: You Can't Manage What You Can't See: Using Visibility, KPIs, and AI to Optimize Logistics Operations

In today’s supply chains, every movement, handoff, and delay has a direct impact on cost, efficiency, and production continuity. For manufacturers operating at scale, maintaining visibility across carriers, yards, inventory, and transportation networks is critical to preventing disruptions and meeting performance expectations.

Join Supply Chain Now, Kaleris, and materials logistics expert Ken Moore of Subaru of Indiana Automotive as they discuss his team’s journey from manual yard tracking and spreadsheets to a highly visible, data-driven logistics operation spanning multiple facilities, thousands of trailer locations, and hundreds of daily trailer movements. Learn how yard management, KPI-driven oversight, trailer tracking, and emerging AI capabilities are helping Ken’s department improve operational visibility, manage costs, optimize resources, and keep production moving.

This conversation will explore practical lessons learned, best practices for measuring logistics performance, and how technology can help supply chain teams make faster, more informed decisions without losing the critical human expertise needed to drive results.

Webinar Key Takeaways:

•Why visibility is the foundation for controlling logistics costs, resources, and operational performance.

•How a material logistics team evolved from spreadsheets, radio calls, and manual processes to a connected, data-driven logistics operation.

•Best practices for establishing meaningful KPIs that drive accountability and continuous improvement.

•How real-time trailer and yard visibility helps reduce risk and protect production uptime.

•The role of yard management systems in managing large, complex logistics networks across multiple facilities.

•Practical lessons on evaluating logistics providers using objective performance data instead of assumptions.

•Where AI can deliver value today by automating routine decisions and accelerating workflows.

•Why human oversight remains essential when implementing AI and advanced analytics.

•How integrated visibility across transportation, yard operations, and inventory creates a stronger supply chain control tower.

How Ferguson’s Metrics-Driven Strategy Drove an 18% Improvement in Operational Efficiency

Labor management is a good start to understanding operational performance, but productivity metrics alone are inadequate to drive efficiencies and business results at scale. Learn how Ferguson has superpowered their labor management practices with Operations Financial Management (OpsFM). Their sophisticated approach to data helps them quickly discern the root causes of performance lags – such as labor performance, processes, or a change in workflow. And by managing to both performance and cost metrics, they are able to bridge the understanding between operations and finance. Join Supply Chain Now hosts, Scott Luton and Tandreia Bellamy, along with Blake Engel of Ferguson and Dan Keto of Easy Metrics, as they show you how to bridge that gap. Learn how Ferguson manages their business by the numbers and drives operational efficiencies at scale. In this webinar you will learn: How to factor difficulty of work content and adjust labor to account for it How to identify the causes of waste and take action for efficiency gains The data sources you need to merge and unify to get visibility at this level How to approach metrics to understand process performance What are the key KPIs, from GM to employee, and how to cascade them
