Detroit, Michigan, January 8, 2004  -   National Logistics Management, Inc. (NLM), the leader in critical-freight logistics management was presented with the Special Recognition Award by General Motors and Vector, SCM at the 2004 North American International Auto Show.  NLM was one of six suppliers in North America to be honored.  The award was for outstanding logistics service in 2003, a challenging year in the transportation industry. 

 

NLM provided uninterrupted material flow to the General Motors North American Plants, despite major challenges, such as the Northeastern Blackout, natural disasters, and capacity issues.  During such times, each shipment was essential to meet the objective of protecting production at the Plants.  NLM’s customized web based systems enabled proper mode selection, award to the least cost, authorized carrier, and extensive milestone management.  Experienced NLM Event Specialists collaborated with General Motors and Vector, SCM to ensure special instructions and critical updates were communicated.  “NLM strives every day to cultivate strong partnerships with our Clients and Partners.  When you combine those relationships with our sophisticated technology and our experienced staff, you can achieve all objectives,” said Scott Taylor, C.E.O. of NLM.

 

In today’s environment of uncertainty, NLM made business continuation a top priority.  Their operation is reinforced with fault tolerant redundant systems, a back-up generator, secondary phone system, and ISO certified Business Continuity Plan.  During serious conditions that may impact their main office, NLM deploys its ISO certified Disaster Recovery Plan.  The action plan includes protection of human life, transfer of critical systems and phones to the NLM owned Hot Site, client and carrier communication strategy, and service restoration approach.
