What is the best flowpath? How much and where should inventory be positioned in the supply chain? At what service level can we profitably satisfy demand? Should our warehousing and material operations be insourced or outsourced? How should we transport product through the supply chain? Can we reduce our transport and logistics costs by improving cube utilization? How well do our current operations mitigate repair and warranty costs? How can we increase visibility to stakeholders? 7

11 Best Practices in Transportation Procurement Click to edit Master title style Frequency Go to market on a schedule known to you and your partner carriers Annually Every 18 Months Every Two Years Carriers WILL (understandably) build a risk premium into rates when they do not know when the next opportunity for review will occur How often do you renegotiate or seek new bids from carriers?

12 Best Practices in Transportation Procurement Click to edit Master title style Methodology: Multi-Round Bid Lanes and volumes exposed to all participants All standardized accessorial and FSC agreements predefined Services and special equipment requirements fully defined and visible at lane level where applicable Carriers provide rate and volume capability Lane level Origin facility level Global constraint Shipper awards on targeted planned volumes and intended splits at the lane level Percentage based lane splits Load count based splits 12

13 Best Practices in Transportation Procurement Click to edit Master title style Methodology: Multi-Round Bid Less than 10% non-incumbents invited to event Used as an opportunity to incent carrier behavior Carriers performing well on KPI/Performance Metrics receive same or more volume Underperforming carriers have less volume awarded Carrier s historical % of spend frequently protected However, be prepared to allow significant lane level churn in awards It s a highly fragmented market for both shippers and carriers Carrier s strong lanes this bid cycle may differ from last bid cycle Use optimization tool if the network is large or constraint scenarios are complex Avoid the temptation to award existing incumbent carrier at the lane level if another established carrier who knows your business is providing a more cost effective rate or volume commitment 13

15 Fuel Surcharge Programs Click to edit Master title style Chainalytics FMIC Membership Establish a known base fuel cost Escalator based upon existing and/or planned improvements in overall fleet MPG targets $0.01 per mile is the typical surcharge Percentage based is still the norm in Intermodal May consider FSC minimums in the case of Short Haul activity 15

20 What were the major challenges? Click to edit Master title style Supply and Demand Cycle We undertook this procurement event at the start of 2Q

21 What were the major challenges? Click to edit Master title style Organization and Carriers Organization Skeptical of multi-round procurement event Belief that business was unique or fundamentally different Strongly held belief that modification of FSC program was a deal breaker Carriers Had not historically dealt with procurement events with JMC Steel Group Many smaller carriers were passing FSC to owner/operators as is. Without business process change the reduction in FSC might be problematic Many smaller carriers had low technology sophistication. Using a web-based procurement portal required more carrier support than usual Some felt empowered to not play ball due to the demand cycle 21

22 What were the major challenges? Click to edit Master title style JMC Perspective Scope and breadth of our data Initial usage of TMS data to drive a procurement event Defining the right solution mix Reliance on top few carriers vs. opportunity with new carriers Implementing new rates and FSC into our TMS Measuring the results Easy on FSC impact Challenging on linehaul rates 22

24 Click to edit Summary Master title style Go to market on a routine, scheduled basis Use the procurement event as the primary tool for awarding good carrier behavior Keep FSC escalators aligned with fair fleet average MPG targets Fair and equitable treatment of carriers during pricing review is the surest hedge against inevitable demand spikes in the carrier market View procurement process as a healthy part of your relationship with your partners and carriers 24
