Transportation & Logistics Costs: 2% decrease versus 1% increase for Industry Average, and 4% increase for Laggards Energy Costs: 6% decrease versus no change for Industry Average and 7% increase for Laggards Operations and Facilities Costs: 2% decrease versus no change for Industry Average and 4% increase for Laggards Supply Costs: 2% decrease versus no change for Industry Average and 6% increase for Laggards

Surpassed stated corporate goal by achieving 25% increase in efficiency between 2005 & ‘08 Used technology for Reducing vehicle weight 1000 lbs =.10% increase in mpg Increasing weight per truckload More efficient routing of trucks Goal is to double fleet efficiency by 2015 from 2005 standards
8
Inventory planning systems use averages to define truckload: weight, cube, pallet spots Many trucks run below max about 5% New software allows for real ‘full’ truckloads while staying in legal limits Can also plan ‘best’ pallet loading techniques Used by companies such as Procter & Gamble, Kraft, Nestle, Smuckers

Patented tractor from HydrogenFS.com HFS is a group of trucking industry veterans who pooled their knowledge on efficiency to create the Green Machine Key component = Jetstar hydrogen booster invented & manufactured in Pickering ON Engine & transmission are re-manufactured units: less expensive + more green
11
Uses “jetstar fuel”…specially treated water Electrifying water creates hydrogen & oxygen Gases are piped to intake manifold There is no hydrogen storage in truck…gases are burned as soon as they are created Hydrogen + oxygen give engine power boost & burn diesel fuel completely reducing emissions to almost nothing
12
Engine is most widely sold Detroit Diesel ever Larger single tires filled with nitrogen All aluminum wheels – including 5 th wheel Air deflectors on side & top Carbon fiber springs Alan Bishop electric engine fan system Jetstar hydrogen booster for engine Synthetic oil is changed after 100,000 miles
13
Engine burns fuel more completely generating more power & less carbon output All technology used is available to any firm Green Machine was conceived by trucking industry veterans and assembled in Michigan Verified national test shows tractor hauling loaded trailer averages 8 mpg…30% gain with emissions below 2014 EPA standards Latest test = 10 mpg
14
“The hydrogen-injected trucks will enable a 15% increase in fuel economyand exceed vehicle emission standards by 11%. These vehicles inject small amounts of hydrogen and oxygen into the engine’s air intake, resulting in a shorter burn time that uses less fuel and produces cleaner emissions. The company expects to save more than 4,200 gallons of fuel per hydrogen truck and eliminate over 216 metric tons of greenhouse gas emissions annually.”

SaaS - Software as a service is major benefit for smaller companies Gets them into the game at low cost Far surpasses performance of manual systems TMS becomes viable for almost all firms Lets user focus on business issues rather than IT Leading SaaS interface with major ERP packages

Lowest cost network Best service network Optimal combo of cost and service Lowest carbon footprint network Management now has a $ target between lowest cost and lowest carbon They now know what it will cost the company to operate a green network
22
Adding carbon footprint weighting to model allows for comparing environmental impact of various scenarios Comparing total miles of different logistics networks – inbound & outbound – allows for identification of lowest miles of movement Calculates $ of environmental improvement
