Lisa Anderson MBA, CSCP, CLTD and president of LMA Consulting Group, acted as a Roundtable Participant, providing input in the development of Material Handling & Logistics (MH&L) U.S. Roadmap 2.0. A collaborative business effort, The Roadmap’s purpose is to guide the industry through supply chain and logistical challenges—domestic and international–through 2030. Roadmap 2.0, which was released at ProMat 2017 in Chicago this month, focuses specifically on technology, consumers, workforce, and logistics infrastructure.
“Roadmap 2.0 is a comprehensive, well thought-out and insightful compilation of trends and technologies that will help provide a broad perspective of where supply chain is headed,” shares Lisa Anderson. “It should be required reading to keep the findings from these supply chain industry thought leaders in mind when setting strategy and considering future potential end-to-end supply chain disruptions. Undoubtedly, manufacturers and distributors will gain valuable takeaways from the Roadmap.”
Anderson was part of a community of nearly 200 strategic thinkers, including material handling and logistics practitioners, equipment and software suppliers, academia, associations and government. Participants sat in on roundtable events held August through November 2016 in Atlanta, Georgia; Trenton, New Jersey; Ontario, California; Tucson, Arizona; and Chicago, Illinois. After dividing into breakout sessions, attendees shared their insights on both recent and anticipated developments in the field. They also identified the core competencies that companies will have to develop within the next decade.
