Why Kellogg made the cut
Kellogg operates with its carriers using a “one-team” approach, Matt Rose, senior director of transportation at Kellogg, told .
“That means we do our part to create a safe, expedient and enjoyable driver experience, we collaborate with our carrier partners to drive both of our business objectives, and importantly, we keep our vision of creating a good and just world where people are not just fed but fulfilled front and center in all we do,” Rose said.
Kellogg engages in weekly, monthly and quarterly reviews where it analyzes past performance to “drive future actions and top-to-top discussions where we look with a big-picture lens at how we partner and could work better together in the future,” Rose said.
Rose added that Kellogg recognizes the many people and companies that work together to execute its strategies and move goods from point A to point B.
“We’re honored to be chosen, especially in a time when companies across industries face so many challenges,” Rose said. “Shipper of Choice is high praise, and we realize this recognition wouldn’t be possible without our many partners working together in a productive way. We truly appreciate our partners in all parts of the supply chain.”
As the company faced challenges with on-time deliveries, case fill rates and cost pressures over the past year, Kellogg “established new ways of working,” Rose said. “Agility was and continues to be key.”
