Carry Transit’s Post

The #ATAmce24 kickoff provided a unique and inspiring experience for LEAD ATA participants with a behind-the-scenes tour of Chick-fil-A Supply’s facility. As we delved into the intricacies of their warehouse operations, one thing became clear: operational excellence is no accident. It’s built on strong processes, intelligent technology integration, and a dedication to efficiency that drives customer satisfaction. Chick-fil-A Supply's approach to supply chain management offers valuable lessons for industries across the board, especially in the fast-evolving world of transportation and logistics. The seamless coordination of their warehouse workflows, from inventory management to last-mile delivery, showcased a commitment to precision that every company should strive for. The culture of innovation and teamwork struck me most during this tour. Chick-fil-A has created a collaborative environment where technology is leveraged to automate tasks and empower employees to work smarter, not harder. Their investment in people and processes reminds them that success in business is not just about the bottom line—it’s about building systems that work for everyone involved, from suppliers to customers. As transportation and logistics professionals, we face increasing pressure to innovate and improve efficiency. Touring Chick-fil-A Supply was a timely reminder of the importance of continuously refining our operations, adopting new technologies, and investing in our workforce to stay ahead of the curve. Operational success doesn’t happen by chance. As we dive deeper into #ATAmce24, I’m excited to explore new ways to apply these insights to our industry's broader challenges and opportunities. We can all aspire to Chick-fil-A’s model of efficiency and excellence, and I’m grateful for the opportunity to learn from their example. Let’s take this momentum forward as we continue to explore the future of transportation at #ATAmce24 #ATAMCE2024 #linkLabs #Trucking #iot #Logistics #supplyChain #innovation

🚨 SPOILER ALERT 🚨 The 3 Key Tenets that the film War Dogs teaches you about the Business World. The third one is by far the most important to any business that wants to become successful, and stay successful. Tenants: 1.     No matter how promising or lucrative a deal may be, always make sure that the juice is always worth the squeeze. The main plot of the film revolves around a $300 million deal where the two main characters Efriam Diveroli (Jonah Hill) and David Packouz (Miles Teller) have to supply the United States military with 100 million rounds of AK-47 ammunition. This deal ends horribly but it goes to show that you should know the limits of your ambition. 2.     Do your Due Diligence. Know who you’re getting into a partnership/deal with before it’s too late. Throughout the film David Packouz is told by many people not to do business with Efraim but he refuses to acknowledge this. In the end, his obliviousness to Efraim’s true character is mostly his fault. Finally, The Most Important Tenet… 3.     The most important people in a business are the customer-facing people. Not the CEO, CFO or Managing Director. Customer-facing people are the employees who interact with a business’ customers on a daily basis. For example, the A-Level student who works part-time at Tesco’s or the Uber Eats delivery driver who always brings your food to you ahead to schedule. In the film, Efriam doesn’t pay the manager who was in charge of the packaging and distribution of their ammunition supply. His salary was pennies in comparison to how much they were earning but Efraim didn’t want to pay him. As a result, the manager snitched to the FBI. Before they knew it, Efriam and David had every American government agency trying to put them in handcuffs. So what’s the moral of the story? People overlook the little guy. Even though it is the little guy that interacts with your customers the most and is the face of your business. #Business #WarDogs #Finance
