“Ryder is trusted to operate behind the scenes of some of the best run
supply chains in the world because of our experienced people, deep
industry expertise, and LEAN operating systems,” said Steve Sensing,
President for Global Supply Chain Solutions, Ryder. “We are proud to be
recognized by Inbound Logistics as an industry leader.”
Ryder’s Supply
Chain Solutions business segment offers a broad range of innovative
services for companies in targeted industries designed to optimize
day-to-day logistics operations and synchronize the supply of parts and
finished goods with customer demand. Solutions are strategically
engineered to address customer requirements, and include lead logistics
management, warehousing, transportation management, packaging, and other
value-added services. Ryder distinguishes itself through its deep
industry knowledge, commitment to LEAN guiding principles, and providing
the best execution.
Ryder’s LEAN culture helps businesses to achieve peak performance,
increase profitability, and efficiency – all while improving quality.
Operating more than 275 facilities with 40 million square feet of
warehouse space, as well as dedicated or multi-client sites, Ryder
offers flexible solutions, no matter how challenging or diverse a
customer’s needs may be. The Company, founded in 1933, operates behind
the scenes, managing critical transportation and logistics functions for
more than 50,000 customers, many of which make the products that
consumers use every day. Ryder employs more than 33,000 people and
manages a fleet of 231,900 commercial vehicles.
“Every year, leading third-party logistics providers of all shapes and
sizes submit their credentials, hoping to match their solutions with our
readers’ business logistics needs. It remains an increasingly difficult
task for the Inbound Logistics editorial team to narrow down the
list to only 100 top 3PL providers,” said Inbound Logistics
Editor, Felecia Stratton. “Ryder was selected as a Top 100 3PL Provider
because its solutions solve specific logistics challenges, improve
processes, and create a ripple effect of efficiencies for our readers
across their entire value chain.”
Earlier this year, Inbound Logistics also named Ryder one of its
“Green Supply Chain Partners” for the eighth consecutive year. The
magazine selects “Green Supply Chain Partners” that demonstrate deep
commitment to green initiatives in transportation and supply chain
sustainability. Ryder was recognized this year for engaging with
customers to help them “green” their transportation solutions by making
natural gas vehicles available to rent or lease.
Inbound Logistics’ Top 100 3PL Providers are featured in the
magazine’s July 2016 issue, as well as online at http://www.inboundlogistics.com/cms/top-100-3pls/.
