Georgia-Pacific LLC, a Koch company, faced high transportation costs while modernizing its facility in Halsey, Oregon. They needed a more cost-effective way to move specialized equipment - conveyor systems, ductwork, and production lines - across multiple states without delays, damage, or unnecessary expenses. By analyzing shipping lanes, challenging standard rates, and negotiating better terms, we helped Georgia-Pacific reduce transportation costs by 57%. We also introduced Conestoga trailers in place of standard flatbeds, enhancing load security, and took a hands-on approach in managing key shipments - working directly with suppliers to eliminate friction points. The result? Transforming logistics from an obstacle into a competitive advantage. 🔗 Read the full case study here: https://lnkd.in/gM3b7mZ6

We’re thrilled to announce that KBX Logistics, a Koch company and global transportation leader, has selected Optimal Dynamics to modernize its dedicated fleet planning and drive automation across its operations. With one of the industry’s largest dedicated transportation networks, KBX needed a solution to streamline complex freight planning, optimize fleet utilization, and reduce manual processes.

We’re proud to see our team using GenAI to rethink how we work and drive smarter solutions across the supply chain. Thank you to Brian Figueroa for sharing valuable insights at Koch's GenAI Live Connect event!
Just over a week ago, I had the incredible opportunity of speaking at Koch's GenAI Live Connect event. It was a privilege to share my team's journey at KBX Logistics and insights on how we can empower our teams to embrace and leverage generative AI. During the presentation, I discussed the importance of the role of a supervisor in navigating Gen AI transformation by applying Principled Based Management (PBM), addressing challenges related to adoption and enablement, fostering psychological safety for experimentation by reframing failure, and balancing structure with freedom to drive innovation. A big thank you to Joy Yancy Jones, sHRBP (she/her) for co-presenting and to all the participants at the event for their valuable contributions and helping us challenge the way we think. We can shape the future of our organization by embracing new technologies and fostering a culture of transformation-working smarter! #GenAI #Leadership #Transformation #ContinuousImprovement #Innovation #Transportation #Logistics

We are devastated by the tragic loss of all those aboard the flight from Wichita to Washington, D.C., and the helicopter involved in this terrible collision. Our deepest condolences go out to their families, friends, and loved ones as they grieve. Wichita is a small, tight-knit community. In this time of sorrow, let’s draw on the strength of our bonds and unwavering support for one another. I am profoundly grateful to the first responders and all those providing comfort and assistance in the wake of this tragedy.

When Koch Methanol needed to transport delicate, high-value equipment over 5,500 miles, the risks were clear - potential damage during transit could disrupt critical operations. By rethinking the approach and combining road and ocean transport, KBX Logistics delivered the components safely and on time, earning positive feedback for both execution and cost management.

Proud to see our team sharing knowledge and mentoring future leaders in #SupplyChain and #Logistics. It’s efforts like these that strengthen our industry’s future.
A few weeks ago, I had my last on campus guest lecture of the year at the Wisconsin School of Business for the Fundamentals of Supply Chain management courses. This is now my 11th year of having this opportunity to present and lecture on my personal career growth and work with Koch & KBX Logistics, and as I have reflected on this a part of my career journey, I have realized an aspect that has given me the most fulfilment. It is what happens AFTER the lecture, with engaged students who reach out. The 1x1s, emails, and phone calls with students who are looking for guidance in their academic and career paths in #Transportation #Logistics and #SupplyChain are as helpful to me as what I am trying to do for them; they for sure keep me on my toes. To all my fellow #Badgers, students and alum, or those just interested in the industry I love and have a passion for, if you are looking to connect, network, and any guidance I can give-I am always willing to help! On, Wisconsin!
