Beall s Inc. How supply chain and logistics impacts your core business: The success of our core business is closely tied to the operational execution in our supply chain. We have an important responsibility in logistics to have alternative plans in place in case of natural or other unanticipated disasters. We cannot disrupt the flow of merchandise to our 530 stores for any significant length of time. Our internal Logistics team and all external providers need to be in sync at all times and ready to change on short notice. Both parties need to have viable disaster recovery processes in place to keep the business running efficiently.
Beall s Inc. Importance of intermodal in our supply chain/logistics strategy: With our D.C.s situated in Southwest FL, we are highly dependent on intermodal in the Beall s Inc. supply chain. Over 60% of domestic receipts arrive via intermodal transportation. This trend will continue as long as the truck vs. rail cost differential and transit times do not further deteriorate. Intermodal transits are built into PO s which are written to ensure vendor ship windows will result in consistent delivery flow. Primary domestic intermodal origins are CA and NY/NJ. Work collaboratively with CSX at destination ramps to ensure quick turns and the administrative process is seamless.
Beall s Inc. Key areas of focus for intermodal in 2015: Identify all truck to rail conversions opportunities. Closely monitor rail transit times out of CA and northeast primarily. Closely monitor CSX terminal productivity, efficiency and turn times. Closely watch and monitor free time on rail containers and ensure DC prioritization and FIFO receiving. Improve drayage carrier performance on pick up and return process. Increase level of BCO communication and interaction with railroads. Develop and enhance partnerships with all railroads. Flexibility in having off hours and weekend gate options at rail.
