Embark on an expedition through the twists and turns of retail supply chain logistics with Bill Senn, an industry maestro whose career spans from the bustling beginnings at Sam's Club to his influential role at RJW. Our latest episode uncovers Bill's hands-on approach to perfecting the middle mile. Bill narrates a rare peek behind the curtain of logistical mastery—from the essential art of consolidation to the dynamic impact of real-time tracking technologies.
Bill details how RJW's savvy centralization of goods in hubs like Chicago and Dallas slashes costs and accelerates performance. Additionally, Bill imparts the value of compliance expertise, a lesson learned from former Walmart executives who help suppliers navigate the treacherous waters of fines and shipping snafus.
Bill's journey, fueled by legends like Sam Walton and mentors like Al Johnson, echoes the ethos of a bygone era, where listening to associates and nurturing a culture of service were paramount. Join us and discover how the lessons of the past are shaping the future of retail logistics.
