Have you ever experienced a mis-delivery of a product? Depending on the type of product, the results of a mis-delivery can be catastrophic. This session takes a closer look at what can cause a mis-delivery and review the best practices in preventing mis-deliveries.

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is a term quickly gaining momentum through the supply chain, but what does it really mean for the distribution community and how does it fit into Responsible Distribution? This session takes a closer look at CSR principles, how they align with the Responsible Distribution Code of Management Practice, and some practices of excellence companies can apply to their own business operations.

This two-part session began by reviewing practices of excellence in managing period training requirements such as emergency response drills. A hands-on mini-table top exercise was conducted to provide an example of what can easily be done in an office setting to simulate testing your response programs.

Product stewardship is the balancing act between responsibilities to interested parties and the pursuit of ethical, responsible profits. Long term success means viewing these responsibilities as equal in importance and not mutually exclusive. As members of NACD, we are the standard for excellence and we all must endeavor to maintain that balance and grow our businesses. This three person discussion talks about the importance of a culture of Quality within your organization, and the ways in which we propagate it. The triumphs and pitfalls of product stewardship are presented and examined. We can create the best procedures, best facilities but without outstanding people who understand, uphold and appreciate the values of the organization, they will commonly fail. The best procedures are only effective when those who perform them, appreciate their importance from a perspective outside their own.
