Effective Logistics – Networking Breakfast
Exclusive for GEA Members!
Join us for an exclusive breakfast session for Gladstone SMEs to explore how collaboration, consolidation, and shared logistics strategies can transform the way in which regional businesses move freight.
As small to medium enterprises already know, full container freight movements into Gladstone are currently viable. However, palletised and smaller consignments still largely rely on Brisbane as a gateway.
This breakfast session will explore how small to medium enterprises can start to rethink the existing freight model through a more collaborative, regionally-driven approach to the supply chain model, including:
- consolidating freight in Brisbane and moving it as a single load to Gladstone with shared cost structures
- building full containers at origin or trans-shipment hubs, such as Singapore, to drive efficiencies inbound
- sharing local resources for freight coordination and improving visibility across supply chains
- creating simple knowledge-sharing platforms, including shared drives, regular catch-ups, and supplier insights
- identifying opportunities for aligned procurement and non-competitive supplier consolidation
- exploring coordinated deliveries to common end users and project sites.
