UPS Furlough Pilots As Part Of Cost Cutting Program
UPS Furlough Pilots As Part Of Cost Cutting Program originally appeared on About.com Logistics / Supply Chain on Tuesday, February 9th, 2010 at 02:37:13.
UPS have announced plans to furlough approximately 300 of its 2800 airline pilots. The company has been working with its union, the Independent Pilots Association (IPA), for the past year to identify ways to cut operating costs including pilots taking short- and long-term leaves of absence; job sharing; reduction in flight pay guarantees and early retirement.
The pilot furloughs will be part of a company-wide cost-cutting program that UPS has been working on over the last two years. The $1.4 billion cost reduction has included a freeze on management salaries; suspension of the match for 401(k) plans and retiring older aircraft. In January, UPS announced it was streamlining its entire domestic small package structure, eliminating 1800 management and administrative positions.

December Imports Indicate End Of Destocking
December Imports Indicate End Of Destocking originally appeared on About.com Logistics / Supply Chain on Friday, February 5th, 2010 at 20:34:44.
Estimates of imports in December showed the first increase in thirty months at US container ports. According the Port Tracker, published by the National Retail Federation (NRF), the first five months of 2010 should see increases over 2009. The rise in imports is forecast as economists expect to consumers to return to the stores in 2010. Retailers have spent most of 2009 in destocking mode and a rise in imports reflects some optimism in the retail industry as a period of restocking commences.
Port Tracker measures the volume from the top ten US ports and 2009 saw imports fall considerably over 2008, a 17 percent decline, and the lowest import volume since 2003.

New Green California Building Code
New Green California Building Code originally appeared on About.com Logistics / Supply Chain on Wednesday, February 3rd, 2010 at 05:23:38.
The first mandatory green building standards code has been adopted by the state of California. The code, called CALGreen, will take effect on January 1, 2011 and requires all new buildings to be more energy efficient and environmentally responsible. The code mandates that every new building constructed in California reduce water consumption by 20 percent, divert 50 percent of construction waste from landfills, and install materials that emit low amounts of indoor pollutants.
The California Air Resources Board (CARB) estimates that the mandatory requirements will reduce greenhouse gas emissions by the equivalent of 3 million metric tons of carbon dioxide in 2020.

Did Pallets Cause The Tylenol Odor?
Did Pallets Cause The Tylenol Odor? originally appeared on About.com Logistics / Supply Chain on Tuesday, February 2nd, 2010 at 04:59:19.
Last week the news media was full of reports of Johnson & Johnson's recall of Tylenol due to a musty, moldy odor that was causing nausea and a variety of other ailments. J&J believes the basis of the odor is the chemical 2,4,6-tribromoanisole which was found on wood pallets used to store packaging material at its Puerto Rico plant. The theory is that the lumber used in the pallets was treated with the fungicide tribromophenol (TBP) which becomes embedded in the wood fiber. When the pallet becomes damp this can cause the chemical to break down into the odor-causing 2,4,6-tribromoanisole.
TBP is banned in the United States, Europe, and Canada. But due to the rising demand and prices of North American wood, pallet manufacturers have begun sourcing their wood from South America, where the fungicide is still used. Major pallet manufacturer, CHEP, requires that the raw materials used in its pallets contain no hazardous substances, including TBP. J&J announced that they will stop using materials shipped on wood pallets similar to those causing the problem.

Decline In Trucking Greatest Since 1982
Decline In Trucking Greatest Since 1982 originally appeared on About.com Logistics / Supply Chain on Monday, February 1st, 2010 at 02:36:19.
2009 saw the largest decline in the amount of goods shipped by truck since the last US recession in 1982. The decline in 2009 was 8.3 percent, while in slump in 1982 was greater at 12.3 percent. The American Trucking Association (ATA) measures the weight of freight hauled by American truckers, based on membership surveys and had reported a rise in shipments at the end of 2009; 2.6 percent in November and 2.1 percent in December.
The ATA estimates that the shipments may continue to increase, based on figures from the last two months of 2009, but a slow rate. Trucking shipment data is one important indicator of U.S. economic health. Trucks carry more than two-thirds of U.S. manufactured and retail goods.

Automakers Increase Sourcing From India originally appeared on About.com Logistics / Supply Chain on Friday, January 29th, 2010 at 04:53:35.
