YMX Logistics Hosts Webinar on Enterprise Yard Operations

Webinar Shares How Manufacturers Can Use Yard Operations as a Strategic Function

YMX Logistics, a national leader in integrated yard logistics, is bringing together top supply chain leaders for an online event on October 14, at 1:00 PM EDT to talk about one of the most overlooked links in the manufacturing supply chain: yard operations. The session will explore how manufacturers are transforming yard operations into a connected performance lever.

As part of the industry panel, YMX will bring together some of the brightest minds in manufacturing logistics to address how enterprise yard operations can—and should—be elevated into a strategic function that drives real business value.

Hosted by former VP of Research at Gartner and industry analyst Bart De Muynck, the panel will include:

• Rick McDonald, Former Chief Supply Chain Officer, The Clorox Company;
• Scott DeGroot, Former Vice-President of Global Planning and Logistics, Kimberly-Clark; and
• Matt Yearling, CEO, YMX Logistics.

Panelists will discuss how outdated outsourcing models and yard management technologies have created inefficiencies, excessive costs, risks, and missed opportunities across manufacturing distribution networks, and how yard operating systems are emerging as a successful alternative.

Key discussion topics include:

• Why supply chain executives should prioritize yard operations across their distribution networks;
• Why legacy approaches and standalone yard technologies are no longer sufficient to manage yard and network operations effectively; and
• What alternatives are available today, and why are they more effective than the status quo and legacy models.

This event marks the second discussion in YMX’s Executive Webinar Series. The inaugural session featured Chris Sultemeier, former EVP of Logistics at Walmart, and set the stage for a broader industry dialogue on how enterprises can leverage yard operations as a strategic advantage.
