Managing inbound freight is one of the most crucial parts of managing a successful supply chain, but the fact is… it's hard!
Kuebix Founder and President Dan Clark discusses in a recent video how a company can better manage their inbound freight by following a detailed process that ensures their product is delivered to the distribution center with the optimal carrier, at the optimal price.
Frequently overlooked and often pushed to the bottom of a shipper's supply chain agenda, good inbound freight management can help companies improve shipment visibility, save money, and enhance customer service—all of which add to the bottom line and boost profitability.
With outbound freight management, shippers are in control of the operation, managing their own picking orders and delivering to their own customers. With inbound freight, shippers are dependent on suppliers to pick orders, load and deliver to a distribution center. This takes collaboration and accountability among participants, and visibility into operations to know what is happening.
A successful inbound program must follow a detailed process for all freight delivered to the distribution center. The program needs to ensure that freight is delivered by the optimal carrier at the optimal price. It requires an infrastructure that creates a win-win relationship with suppliers and carriers that leverages available capacity to ensure freight will be delivered on time, claims free to the distribution center.
With real-time alerts and a real-time collaborative infrastructure, shippers can track shipment delivery times and better organize their docks so carriers aren't left idling in the yard. A well-planned inbound freight management program uses LTL consolidations to make fuller trucks to reduce the number of deliveries arriving at the same time and utilizes backhaul opportunities to reduce shipping costs and improve efficiencies.
A well-orchestrated inbound freight management processes establishes a win-win program with suppliers to keep costs in check. It helps with managing supplier allowance programs for LTL and TL, streamlines the unloading process, establishes vendor inbound compliance and fosters dynamic capacity-based selections, where whoever has the capacity is the one selected to deliver the orders.
A superior inbound management program must be built on compliance and accountability. It requires a comprehensive routing guide that details the requirements for each stakeholder and each process. Everyone needs to understand the program and their responsibilities for its success. Enforcing these new compliance policies ensures cost reduction objectives will be met.
This will create an environment that makes it efficient and cost effective for all stakeholders involved in the process.
Managing inbound freight operations is an ongoing challenge for businesses with large numbers of suppliers. Companies are impacted by the inefficiencies, low levels of visibility and lack of standardization associated with the management of their inbound freight. These problems are exacerbated when companies lack comprehensive strategies for obtaining the lowest possible shipping and unloading costs or a plan to improve the behavior of their suppliers. A complete strategy for inbound freight management needs to encompass the following three aspects; visibility, collaboration and accountability.
Visibility – Although companies control their own destinies on the outbound side of the equation, that level of control dwindles when it comes to inbound freight. In the end, the receiving company does not have full planning and visibility for shipment arrivals and dock reservations. To optimize their inbound, stakeholders can benefit from better visibility of information (e.g., knowing what carrier is being used, exact timing of deliveries, how much manpower is in the DC to load/unload shipments, etc.), real-time data sharing and the knowledge that everyone is working toward a common goal.
Collaboration – By using a comprehensive inbound freight plan based on a collaborative ecosystem of shippers, suppliers and carriers, companies can effectively establish a dynamic rating and unloading allowance program. As companies work in partnership with their suppliers to determine the most cost-effective method to handle each shipment – customer pick-up (CPU) or vendor controlled (VDS), the goal should be to reduce overall shipping costs. By giving suppliers choices, they'll be able to pick the most effective service and billing procedure. Convert inbound shipments from VDS to CPU shipments only when it's feasible, and then establish preferred rates with a select group of carriers to handle those inbound shipments at the lowest possible cost and best service type. Use a standard routing guide to establish a set of mandatory carriers that will be used for all VDS and CPU shipments. This will enable LTL pricing improvements, superior service levels and maximize opportunities for LTL consolidation.
Accountability – While companies can't always control what their suppliers do or the efficiency of suppliers' systems, they can implement Vendor Inbound Compliance Standards (VICS) to help improve supplier behavior. A comprehensive set of compliance procedures will establish rules and processes that must be followed by suppliers when making deliveries. These accountability levels should also extend to the company's own supply chain/logistics department and procurement group, both of which play a role in ensuring that products get quickly from their origin to the distribution center (DC). The goal? Improve supplier behavior so that their inefficiencies are not wasting time and money at the DC. It's also important that a company's inbound strategy includes leveraging detailed analytics to measure the results of the program and take action where necessary to improve service with suppliers and carriers.
By following this general recipe, companies can work with specialists in inbound freight to develop an unbeatable inbound freight management strategy. But knowing what to do and being able to do it effectively are two entirely different hurdles companies need to jump. It's for that reason Kuebix has developed SupplierMAX, a program where companies can leverage Kuebix's technology and logistics experts to manage all or a portion of their inbound freight program. SupplierMAX improves supplier behavior and increases the efficiency of warehouses and distribution centers by incorporating a series of comprehensive strategies to improve inbound operations.

It's well known that Brits generally do murder better than Yanks (or anyone else, for that matter). This trend started with Conan Doyle and continues right down to the present moment. Part of the reason for this is that Brit mysteries are genteel and intelligent. Yank mysteries are often written as if the main audience consists of cave men. Which is, alas, all too true. Even so, the Brit example is starting to sink in on this side of the pond. Virtually all of the main characters in superb series such as "Bones" and "Numbers" consist of nerds who actually use 3- and 4-syllables (and bigger) words. They also omit gratuitous violence (tiresome) and profanity (even more tiresome). Readers may also recall the spectacular success of "Murder She Wrote", set among the rural beauty of the Murder Capital of New England, Cabot Cove. Genteel, engaging, beautifully filmed, this was everything a good mystery ought to be. If you actually like urban grunge and gritty plotting, but want something from the Brits in that line, there's always Helen Mirren's "Prime Suspect". This is really good grunge and grit, especially if you want Brit quality instead of slipshod Yank stuff that uses gratuitous violence to distract you from the vapidity of what you're watching.
The problem is that good Brit mysteries outnumber Yank ones as the Chinese outnumber the Brits. This first decade of the 21st Century is no exception. From 2003 to 2007 we were treated to the wonderful "Rosemary and Thyme". All indications are that after 3 seasons (03, 04, 06/07) and 2 specials (04, 05), R&T are through. Well, we still have the long-running "Midsomer Murders" and the more recent "The Last Detective".
Rosemary Boxer (played wonderfully by Felicity Kendal) and Laura Thyme (played even better if possible by Pam Ferris) meet by chance as the latter's husband is deserting her. They go into business as professional gardeners and go about (mostly) rebuilding decrepit plantings. Lo and behold, very shortly they have a body in their garden. Unlike the Midsomer people, the R&T people spread the wealth of death around, taking their characters to beautiful places in England, France, Italy, and Spain. The gardens are often spectacular, and even if not (one episode involves a lawn; another, a grape grove), there is usually a beautiful and/or interesting building to compensate. What we don't get is the American favorite, (ugh!) urban grunge.
The mysteries themselves are all to brief – all episodes but 2 longer ones are only 48 minutes (as opposed to, say, 100 for Midsomer). In the beginning the girls don't solve the murder so much as they flush the guilty party into the waiting arms of the police. Mostly, however, they work out whodunit. These are good little conundrums, but it would be nice if they had more time in which to get worked out.
The scripts are clever and witty, informed by an insidious sense of humor. They're full of hilarious throwaway quips and verbal exchanges. This tendency reaches its height in the last episode in the set (the 2005 special), "The Cup of Silence". Here we get an actual black-out skit, á la Ernie Kovacs, which we should call "The Donkey Shop". It proceeds from the outré premise that somebody would actually try to make a go of a gift shop that sells nothing but donkey-related items. This builds in an exchange right out of Monty Python that leads to one of the most wonderful puns I've ever heard.
Besides, any series that dares to have one of its characters quote the immortal limerick, "While Titian was mixing rose madder", can do no wrong.
OK. Tiziano (Titian) Tecelli (1477-1571!) was a great artist. Despite its name, rose madder (root of the plant of the same name) is a brilliant red, often referred to a "true" red. OK, I had to look up the dates.
Aside from the witty scripts, the acting is on a par with them. There are several talented guest stars, including the brilliant Phyllida Law. One of the stars is a gizmo – that used to steam the grape groves in "Cup of Silence". Bless us, holy Rube Goldberg!! R&T comes on 9 DVDs in a compact case. The discs are just a little difficult to remove. The aspect is 16x9. Typical of Brit programs (and this is a serious flaw), there are no subtitles. One of the "special features" actually is special. The first DVD for each season (or "series", as the Brits refer to it) contains a featurette on the locations used for that season. These are informative and have some beautiful footage. The rest is silence (of which, as previously noted, you can get a whole cup with the last disc).
Note on the lack of subtitles: luckily, the actors' diction is particularly precise and clear overall. Subtitles are not quite the necessity they normally are, although people who don't hear well, or at all, will find this lack damn inconsiderate.
As you might have figured, I highly recommend this collection. It will give you 18 hours of viewing pleasure at a cost only a couple of inches of shelf space.

DoD Studies 'Terminator' Weapons Conundrum, Selva Says
By Jim Garamone DoD News, Defense Media Activity
PRINT | E-MAIL | CONTACT AUTHOR
WASHINGTON, Aug. 26, 2016 — Maybe the idea behind the "Terminator" movie franchise isn't so far-fetched.
In the "Terminator" films and TV shows, a worldwide computer defense network becomes self-aware and sees humans as the enemy and attacks.

Scientists around the world are currently working on artificial intelligence, autonomous vehicles, uses for big data and other innovations and technologies that pose ethical questions.
DoD is examining those questions, said Air Force Gen. Paul J. Selva, the vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. He spoke about some of these ideas yesterday with Kathleen Hicks, the senior vice president of the Center for Strategic and International Studies.
The idea of computers driving cars, landing airplanes, delivering packages or exploring planets is already here. Singapore is testing driverless taxis. Google is looking to do the same in Pittsburgh shortly.
There are a number of autonomous vehicles on Mars.
The U.S. military has a fleet of remotely piloted vehicles that operate worldwide and oceanographers have been using remotely piloted submersibles for years.
Autonomous Weapons Systems
But the idea of autonomous weapons systems poses some real ethical challenges, Selva said. DoD is working with experts on ethics -- both from inside and outside the department -- on the issues posed, he said. They are looking at the pitfalls of what happens when technology is brought into the execution of warfare.
"I am not bashful about what we do," Selva said. "My job as a military leader is to witness unspeakable violence on an enemy. In the end, when you send me or any soldier, sailor, airman or Marine from the United States … out to defend the interests of our nation, our job is to defeat the enemy."
How service members accomplish the mission is governed by laws and conventions, he said. "One of the places where we spend a great deal of time is determining whether or not the tools we are developing absolve humans of the decision to inflict violence on the enemy. That is a fairly bright line that we are not willing to cross."
A true autonomous weapon system would be programmed to perform a mission and the decision to use deadly force would be left up to the on-board computer within the program parameters. That is unacceptable to the United States military, Selva said.
"We have insisted that as we look at innovations over the next couple of decades that one of the benchmarks in that process is that we not build a system that absolves our human leaders of the decision to execute a military operation, and that we not create weapons that are wholly and utterly autonomous of human interaction," he said.
But the U.S. decision does not mean an enemy would follow suit.
In the world of autonomy, a completely robotic system that can make a decision on causing harm is already possible, he said. "It's not terribly refined, it's not terribly good, but it is here," the general said. "As we develop systems that include things like artificial intelligence and autonomy, we have to be very careful that we don't design them in a way where those systems actually absolve humans of that decision."
The discussion needs to occur, the general said, and the United States must be prepared for nations or nonstate actors to violate any convention that the world draws up with respect to autonomous weapons.
"Until we understand what we want the limits to be," Selva said, "we don't have a baseline to use to determine if someone is moving down the path of violating a convention that could create something like a Terminator that adds an incredible amount of complexity and with no conscience to what happens on the battlefield."

Travel with Terri to the Billy Graham Library
By Terri Guthrie
"The Man, The Message, The Ministry, The Mission."
While in Charlotte, North Carolina, we loved our journey through history with one of the most influential voices of the 20th century. Billy Graham was truly an extraordinary international evangelist and his message was simply about "God's Love."
The Billy Graham Library dedication ceremony took place on Thursday, May 31, 2007 in Charlotte. It was attended by Billy Graham, former Presidents Carter, Clinton and Bush and a crowd of nearly 1,500. Over a million visitors have been through the library since its opening.
At the library you walk, at your own pace, through multimedia exhibits, films, and memorabilia. It's fascinating to relive and learn about the historic moments of his life. Also, on the property, you can tour the restored Graham family home, shop in Ruth's Attic gift shop, and enjoy lunch in the Dairy Bar.
The Billy Graham Library grounds.
The Journey of Faith focuses on what God did in the life of a young farm boy who grew up in rural North Carolina, committed his life to Jesus Christ at a local revival and, through God's grace manifested in him, became what many consider "America's Pastor" and evangelist to the world. Reminiscent of Billy Graham's upbringing on a dairy farm on the outskirts of Charlotte, the Library building is styled after a dairy barn, and his boyhood home has been restored a short walk from the main library building. The entrance to the library is in the shape of a cross.
The tour begins and ends with multimedia presentations, the first to lay a foundation for what guests will encounter in the exhibits and, at the end, another to consider the same call Billy Graham has extended to millions of others in 185 countries.
Until the vision for the Billy Graham Library was explained in these terms, Billy Graham was against the idea of a library bearing his name. He was so adamant against anything that would detract from the message he has preached for more than 60 years—a message that points to Christ alone as the way to God.
"We are not lifting up or pointing to Billy Graham," says son Franklin Graham. "We are pointing to the Lord Jesus Christ." Throughout the tour, visitors hear the Gospel presented and have opportunity to respond to the message.
The Billy Graham Library is not a memorial, nor is it a museum. It is simply a ministry; prayerfully planned with the intention of communicating the unchanging, life-giving message of Jesus Christ to hundreds of thousands of visitors each year that may never had the opportunity to attend a Crusade.
The library complex includes Billy Graham's childhood home, built in 1927 on their dairy farm about four miles away from the library. It has been beautifully restored and is filled with family photos and personal items of the Graham family.
Guests of the library will experience the story of a common man who used his God-given potential to bring God's love, strength, hope and kindness to millions of people around the world. The ongoing crusade message of the library will continue for generations to come.
The Billy Graham Library will leave you inspired by this amazing man, his life and his message of hope. It's clearly an ongoing Crusade!

Lake Charles, La. - On Sunday, Aug. 13, the Lake Charles Police Department responded to an emergency at 113 East Greenway Street, where officers discovered 68-year-old Wayne Keith Reynaud deceased. He died from "apparent blunt force trauma," said a media release.
Detectives quickly identified 29-year-old Rolando Anthony Massingill as the person who committed the crime. He was reportedly homeless and there was no recent known address, so Judge Clayton Davis signed a warrant for his arrest for 1st-degree murder along with a $1,000,000 bond.
After receiving information on Monday, Aug. 14, Massingill was located at a hotel in Kinder La., where the LCPD SWAT team, detectives, a K-9 officer, the Negotiation Team, US Marshal's Office, Allen Parish Sheriff's Department, and Kinder Police Department apprehended Massingill without incident. He was brought back to Lake Charles and booked into the Calcasieu Parish Correctional Center for the charge of 1st-degree murder.

From their humble beginnings in the courts of Chinese Emperors – it's said that noble women would walk about the palaces carrying Shih Tzu inside their robes – these little dogs have padded through history with their heads held high, and today find themselves in the company of the good (Queen Elizabeth), the great (Dalai Lama) and Geri Halliwell.
One of today's most talked-about Shih Tzu is Gizmo, who has clocked up roughly 2 million YouTube hits with a video that mostly features him looking at himself in a mirror.
Shih Tzu liked to be looked after, and this means more than just the occasional brush. Whilst they're generally a sturdy little dog, they can sometimes develop health problems (eye infections and breathing difficulties are not entirely uncommon).
So by forming this group, we'd like to help you use the collective buying power you share with other Shih Tzu owners to negotiate a better deal on pet insurance. Currently, there is an offer available with MORE TH>N, so please join the group to find out more. And if you know other Shih Tzu owners, why not invite them to join too?
