DAY 1

NOVEMBER 15, 2010


After the Invocation and National Anthem, the training

session was officially opened with a keynote speech by the

PPA General Manager, Atty. Juan C. Sta. He expressed his

appreciation on the conduct of the seminar as a welcome

development in the transportation industry. Considering

the geographical configuration of the country, he cited the

need for strengthening the operations of the intermodal

transportation system as a mechanism for facilitating the

safe transport of goods and people’s and interconnectivity.

The Keynote Speech


The objective of the course was clarified by Dr. Patrick Sherry,

Associate Professor and Executive Director, National Center for

Intermodal Transportation, University of Denver, Colorado, USA and

Lead Resource Speaker.

The training course was aimed at providing valuable benchmarks

for better freight planning and policy analysis geared towards cost

efficient production, seamless movement of goods and people,

greener transportation system that is free from pollution and road

network congestion, which will finally redound to healthy and

progressive global society.

Overview of the Course


Continuation of Day 1. Overview of the Course…

The general concepts of intermodalism as an important option in

promoting interconnectivity and seamless movement of goods and

people were discussed as an introduction to the course. This was

followed by a presentation of the best practices in performance and

environmental management and solutions engagement to provide

good benchmarks in reducing the risks that inevitably go along with

the day-to-day operation of the supply chain business and the

logistics network as well as an approach to establishing corporate

social responsibility. Interspersed within the discussions were

exercises that revealed the benefits derived by stakeholders from

practicing collaboration as a strategy in engaging intermodal solutions

as well as to enable the training participants to apply the concepts of

intermodalism to specific situations in their operations.


A teambuilding exercise ensued. Participants were grouped

into 5 teams. Each team was required to form a tube of 7

feet long and 2 inches in diameter from the newspapers that

were provided. After which team members were advised to

lay the tube on the floor horizontally and then raised it jointly

by placing their index fingers at the base of the tube. This

exercise was included as one of the training activities to

introduce the concept of collaboration as one important factor

in creating intermodal solutions.

Initial Teambuilding Exercise


Gil Carmichael, Chairman, Intermodal Institute, Denver

University, discussed via internet “The Science of

Intermodalism.” The focused of discussion zeroed in on the

Change and Transportation System in the US. He presented

prevailing challenges for policy development, the barriers to

intermodalism, the benefits and opportunities for improved

intermodalism and recommendations for improving the

transportation system through intermodal solutions.

The Science of Intermodalism


Professor Goetz, Denver University, Colorado USA followed

next. He introduced the concept of the “Intermodal System“

via teleconferencing, also. He advocated the establishment

of an integrated sustainable national transportation system as

an international priority in solving the problems of congestion,

public health and safety as well as increasing social equity by

rationalizing the use of the different modes. Scenarios which

demands for the need in creating and maintaining safe and

secure transportation system were presented. He explained

the concept of sustainability and efficiency within the context

of intermodalism as an alternative action to address the

issues.

Intermodal System


Alejandro Lito R. Aprieto shared his expertise in “Supply Chain

Performance Measurement: An Executive Dashboard

Imperative”. He talked about the importance of performance

evaluation, criteria in measuring performance, evaluating a

3PL distribution center and the benefits of measuring

performance.
