SCHNEIDER PARTNERS WITH CATERPILLAR LOGISTICS

SCHNEIDER PARTNERS WITH CATERPILLAR LOGISTICS    Schneider Logistics and Caterpillar Logistics Services have completed negotiations on an agreement to help Caterpillar increase the efficiency of its North American transportation.
   Schneider Logistics, based in Green Bay, Wis., will provide transportation management technology to Cat Logistics. This system oversees multiple transport modes for both inbound and outbound shipments, in addition to providing the ability to track and trace material in transit.
   “This agreement will support one of Caterpillar’s 6 Sigma projects for process improvement to reduce transportation costs while maintaining high service levels for Caterpillar’s parts and products,” said Steve Wunning, head of Caterpillar Logistics, based in Peoria, Ill.
   “The initiative not only implements a centralized transportation optimization approach of truck shipments across the enterprise, but will improve transportation processes for Caterpillar facilities, suppliers and carriers,” Wunning added.
