May 2017 Professional Development Meeting:
Basics of International Transportation
Speaker: Kimberly Daniels, MBA, LCB, CLTD, CEO, Mercantile Logistics & International Trade, Inc.
When it comes to moving goods around the world, there are many steps in the process, but it is not as complicated to do as it is to explain. Kim Daniels, a licensed customs broker and CLTD certified APICS member, brings more than a decade of experience in international supply chain to walk through the process of international trade.
This professional development meeting will discuss many topics that affect all kinds of transportation: freight terminology, modes of transport, how to devise and implement a proper transportation plan, as well as identifying the potential barriers and delays. With these skills, participants will be able to look at their operations to not just remove inefficiencies in their supply chain, but also prepare for potential issues before they become serious problems.
Join us on May 18th to find out the unique challenges of managing international transportation!
