YMX Logistics Hosts Webinar on Yard Operations

On October 14, 2025, YMX Logistics is set to host a vital online event for supply chain leaders focused on enterprise yard operations. This marks the second installment in their Executive Webinar Series, designed to illuminate often-overlooked aspects of the manufacturing supply chain.

The last session set a high bar with guest speaker Chris Sultemeier, former EVP of Logistics at Walmart, who emphasized the critical role of yard operations in an increasingly complex distribution landscape. As organizations face escalating pressures to enhance efficiency, cut costs, and adapt to disruptive macro-events, the significance of yard operations becomes vital. Bart De Muynck, an industry expert and CEO of Better Supply Chains, remarks, "The yard serves as the connective tissue linking production, warehousing, and transportation. Treating it as a strategic extension of the manufacturing floor can lead to measurable gains in throughput, safety, and timely deliveries."

Matt Yearling, CEO of YMX Logistics, added, "True transformation occurs when manufacturers carefully orchestrate yard activities. Aligning metrics, labor, technology, and equipment is essential for operational excellence at both individual facilities and across networks. The yard operations represent a massive, untapped opportunity yet to be fully realized."

This webinar will assemble a panel of high-level leaders in manufacturing logistics, including:

• - Rick McDonald: Former Chief Supply Chain Officer at The Clorox Company
• - Scott DeGroot: Former VP of Global Planning and Logistics at Kimberly-Clark
• - Matt Yearling: CEO, YMX Logistics

The discussion will tackle issues surrounding outdated outsourcing models and the inefficiencies stemming from existing yard management technologies. These elements have led to excessive costs, risks, and opportunities lost within manufacturing distribution networks. The panel will propose yard operating systems as a promising alternative to the existing paradigm.

Key discussion points will include:

• - The imperative for supply chain executives to prioritize yard operations throughout their networks.
• - Why traditional approaches and standalone yard technologies have become inadequate for effective yard and network management.
• - Available alternatives today and their advantages over legacy models.
