Dear Lee Anne & Karen,

   As this order was " put on my shoulders " to make it happen no matter what, I'm sure you can appreciate that I was concerned with the outcome. If I had (1) I had (100) phone calls and emails coming at me for 3 days.

   You both are just the very best at what you do, which made it so much easier for me to contend with my boss and the higher ups at AK Steel. Your attention to details and the constant updates were " the cherry on top " of that whole scenario. 

   If I can ever use Logistics Plus or refer someone to you I will definitely do so for I have never received such customer service as you both have provided.

  Please accept my deepest thanks and I wish you both a terrific week!!

Hi Guys!

On behalf of Tommy and myself, I just want to say thank you for everything you have done for this shipment. I can’t thank you enough, or begin to explain how helpful you have been. Couldn’t have done any of this without you guys. The shipment made it to the booth (very late at night, but it still made it in time). Thank you for all of your time and hard work!

You guys have been wonderful and we look forward to doing more business with your company.

Warmest Regards,

Special thanks to Josh N. for his professional services and great communications in helping the smooth movement of the shipment.

I always enjoyed working with you. it was always about something super critical and urgent and mostly from C&S!!!

I always thought of you as the expert in routing and came to you with all my difficulties.

You do an awesome job!! I have definitely learnt a lot about routing from you.

Thank you very much for all your help over the years. Could not have survived without it.

Thank you for the outstanding work over the past 2 weeks.  You really impressed me with your dedication and knowledge of the parts, issues, and processes.  You managed to keep the tough delivery issues moving all week and went the extra mile to ensure all ends were tied off while we had several players on the team out.  If your on it I feel confident it will get done.

Thanks,

I wanted to extend a Thank You to you & your team for the support of the Erie Regional Trucking Kaizen.  This was a one day Lean event where  the cross functional GE Materials & Logistics Team identified the most critical suppliers to inventory management and established regional trucking routes to require advance authorization of material pick-up.  

Logistics Plus supported the implementation by participating on daily calls as new routes were communicated and deployed to ensure that the operation ran smoothly.  The effort was instrumental on managing our inbound material in 2Q 09 and is still in place today with ongoing refinement to existing routes based on volume. Through this effort GE Transportation reduced over $2.4M in inventory in just 6 weeks while ensuring that Transportation costs did not increase & in many cases actually decreased.  This effort was focused and measured on our A item inventory.  The actual savings were higher as we maximized truckloads by adding the required B & C items on the trucks as well but did not have a baseline measurement. 

This project truly showed that you can better manage inventory while simultaneously reducing transportation costs.

Jim - Special thanks for the role your team played this past year in Grove City.  Your team was really key in catching the pcs falling thru the cracks all year.  Could not have done it without them.  Everyone one of them worked countless additional hours, many times with not even a notice or thank you.  They really came thru for us.

Additionally we reduced Premium Transportation by ~$2MM this past year!  You have a top notch team.

Thanks,

Hello Jim, Fred and Gretchen,

I just wanted to let you all know what an amazing job Amy Alexander is doing in ESG.  We have a situation where Chick Packaging mistakenly loaded Kazakhstan engine on a truck destined for the boat going to Australia.  There was definitely some panic as the transit time from east coast to Australia about 6-7 weeks putting our Kazakhstan engine delivery way past our schedule.  Amy was notified of the error after the material had already sailed from the Baltimore port and we were all concerned that we didn't have many options.  However, Amy got on the case right away.  She worked with forwarder to find out where the engine would be making stops at.  After only 1 day, she was able to get the forwarder on task to offload the Kazakhstan engine in Durban, South Africa and shipped via Germany to its destination.  At the same time, she's already made arrangements to get the Australia engine out of Chick next week to sail before the end of the year.  Quite amazing!

She was fierce and persistent in her pursuit and the end result is most appreciated by all copied on the email below.  This is just one example of her hard work and dedication to GE and our customers.  Everyday I see her work hard and always with a smile on her face; always willing to go the extra mile for me and I know she does the same for all people she comes into contact with.

Regards,

     Natalie

Dear Ms. Seth,

I wanted to take this time to extend my appreciation for the assistance that Abi Lopez has given to Renold.  Last month, on October 21st , we had customers visiting the Renold facility.  Abi was invaluable in providing the translation services that we needed to make this visit successful.  

In addition, Abi has been a major asset in assisting me with shipping information relative to products being sent to the Latin American region.

Logistics Plus has dedicated individual in Abi Lopez.  For this, I extend my appreciation and thanks.

        Just wanted to let you know that we have had great service from Bruce this holiday weekend. On Wed. real late got notification that we had a unit at CWM - Winnipeg that was going LHFM at $2400 per day. Bruce was able to get a carrier and part delivered on Thanksgiving as was planned. Then on Sat. needed a same day delivery to CMT Memphis and that was handled as well.

        To many times we say something when things do not go correctly but are lax in letting people know we appreciate it when they go the extra for us to make it happen.

                Thank You Bruce!!!!

From Joe Karadchy:

I was fortunate enough to work with Logistics Plus for over 3 years.  During this time LP delivered savings, identified and created efficiencies/synergies that were agreed to in the initial partnership.  I was very impressed with consistent quality of people and the global knowledge in the organization from the CEO down.  Armed with this unique combination LP is able to implement and execute projects at an accelerate rate providing the principle with a competitive first mover advantage difficult to emulate.  I would undoubtedly recommend LP to organizations looking for individuals who identify and create sustainable competitive advantages that are studied and expressed as industry benchmarks.

Afternoon Byron,

    I have been using Logistics Plus lately after one of our customers requested we do so and have found may times that your rates are very competitive and have since used your services for many other shipments to other of my customers. I had some difficulties with a couple shipments and found that they were due to something I missed and Jessica S. Ardillo was very knowledgeable and caught them before they had gone to far and was able to correct them.

I spoke with her and she was very cordial and a real person to talk with.

I've done computer support over the phone in the course of my career and I found it was very rare to have someone say thank you for your help and time. So I wanted to take this opportunity to say thank you and look forward to using your services in the future.

Hope your day is a blessed one,

All,

I wanted to congratulate you all on an outstanding performance.  Well done.  When Jim told me about the changes in the GE schedule, I was concerned that the we were stretching ourselves too thin to ship this order by Saturday.  The fact that you all worked together to get this out the door on Wednesday is an amazing accomplishment.  Great job.  It is a rare occasion to get such a note from a customer, particularly one that as demanding as GE.  You pleased GE and you also made sure we were covered commercially.  All around great job.

Thank you for the extra effort.

I wanted to thank you for your continuing work on this order and all the associated back and forth peculiarities that need addressed over and over.  The LC involved with this order is a great example of why having you on board is a great benefit to C/G.  We would have been in the dark on many of these issues had you not been involved.  Of course we aren’t done yet and there is more work to do, but I think we have a good handle on the order finally.  

Thanks again!

Dear Jeremy:

I want to thank JJ and Logistics Plus for once again stepping up and making it happen.  I have a Warehouse Customer who brought freight into the United States and the Steam Ship Line (Phoenix and the broker Swift) were unable to get the shipment to clear.  The problem stemmed from the consignee not willing to provide a POA.  The freight ended up in demurrage.

I contacted JJ at 4:45 pm on Thursday Feb 12, and by 12:30 pm on Friday the 13 the freight was cleared.  It is unbelievable that two other companies were unable to get the job done in 2 weeks.  This is proof that experience and a sense of urgency is the utmost important factor.  JJ has once again displayed superior Customer Service and the importance of business relationships.  It is great to be a business partner with your organization.

It has been a pleasure working with you too.  Thank you so much for all your help.  Today as I made my rounds to say good-bye to everyone at Renold, I received many good comments about Abi and how much better things are today than they were before we partnered with your organization.  Someone asked me what my legacy was at Renold, and I would have to say making a change for the better in our export process would be it.  We couldn't have done it without the help from Norm and Logistics Plus.  I will be in touch and will be sure to refer Logistics Plus if any of my new clients need your services.  And also, as we discussed before, I would be more than happy to speak to any prospective clients of yours on how happy I have been with our partnership.

Have a great holiday.

The first 2 Arcelor Mittal Size 38's left for Chicago last night after the customer's inspection at Rockhill.  I really appreciate everyone's efforts and micromanagement of the schedule to make this happen on time - especially with Mittal's receiving closing today for the rest of the year.  Especially the ownership taken when I was in the UK and negotiations.  

For the record, if it was not for detailed planning right down to the truck driving all night - we would have missed the shipment as the storm has basically shutdown trucking in Chicago today!   Our truck was waiting at the gate when Mittal opened this morning.

Due to fiscal January being a very short month, I have adjusted the 2009 shipment plan for the next 2 to be fiscal February.

Thanks again,

I wanted to write you a quick note to inform you of Joey Anderson's performance.  Just a few minutes ago, Joey was able to get an expedited truck set-up from Canada to Grove City.  He worked with the folks in Erie to get the truck set up in under 20 minutes.  This has to be some kind of record! 

Beyond this, Joey has picked up the understanding of his responsibilities very quickly.  Joey has a very tough job of staying on top of all of the orders and material we have internationally, and he has performed with outstanding results.  He has identified parts shortages that I would have missed, and has also worked the same issues on his own, saving me valuable time in dealing with them directly.  He has been on the phone with me at midnight while helping to work through issues with vendors.  I just wanted you to know that Joey is a very valued asset to this team!

I wanted to drop you a quick note to let you know what a outstanding job Emily has done for the Propulsion COE. I would like to say how refreshing it has been working with since February, when Pola left.

Specifically, that she is extremely proactive, looks in advance at supplier's parts that have a history of causing "problems". Many time she will call my team in advance stating date parts are arriving to port and or clearing from customs and that standard transportation will arrive on this date. She has tremendous follow through and always copies the buyer on her emails to freight forwarders or whom ever.

In addition she has phoned my cell long after hours or on a weekend to update me on shipments.....all without my asking her to do this. She is a very dedicated, committed, passionate individual and has such a positive attitude that I wish she was a part of my team!

Too many times people only drop lines on the negative and I felt that I should let you all know about one of your outstanding employees!

I wanted to take the time to commend the work being done by Khash for the Wind business. 

In the past few months Khash has established an LOB as well as participated on 2 conference calls per week with the team, supplier and myself to identify potential issues etc. The report Khash has developed has become the "key" to identifying the actual material status. 

I want to commend him for the effort and ask that this report continue to be updated and provided weekly.

Naran,

Over the past few days I have had the privilege of working with yet another member of your staff. In the absence of Winson but with business churning along Joker has had to step in and pick up the slack. As usual nothing I do seems to be straight forward and my home office has once again made matters more complicated. I started an air shipment a few weeks ago that got put on hold but the parts were already in you hands and sent to the warehouse. Winson put a hold on it and arranged for the shipment to be stored. Now it has to be pulled and send via ocean. Joker has stepped in and handled this like he was on the job the whole time and provided me with options that I will be deciding on shortly. I understand this is not a simple task by any standards but Joker has made it look as if it is indeed straight forward and simple.

I am very impressed with his knowledge and professionalism, as I am with you entire staff. It is always a pleasure to work with you and I look forward to this sound and productive relationship in the future.

Hi Bob-

Just wanted to get in touch with you regarding Sonny Vidakovic's assistance since I have been at GE.  I've only been the Material Expeditor for Building #5 and 7 since the beginning of April and Sonny has been a great help to me almost daily.  I cannot think of an instance where he has "dropped the ball" for me.  Maybe he doesn't always get me the answer that I and the rest of the production team want to hear as far as eta's, etc., but almost all of that has to do with the logistics of the trucking companies or what Sonny has been told by them.  Sonny's response time is impressive as well and feel that I can count on him to get me things when promised.  I think that Sonny and I are developing a good "team relationship" and my only hope is that he stays as my "go to guy" for a while.

Regards,

Tim

Khash,

This letter is my personal recommendation for Sonny Vidakovic, I found him to be consistently pleasant, tackling all my transportation need with dedication and a smile. Sonny is extraordinarily helpful in the areas setting up carriers to ship and deliver to or from the suppliers. I think he will be a better assets as he gain more experience.  He seems to be a team player and quick learner.

Thanks

I just want you to know that Lauri went above and beyond for me today. Regarding a CSX Transportation issue. We had a shipment out of HP that was to go UPS  NDA and  instead got shipped UPS Freight. The customer called and had production  shut down. Lauri contact the carrier today at 11:45   to rescue  the material  It  is being delivered today at 4 PM. So because of her I have a very grateful customer.

Hi, James,

I am the materials manager for Denver and the West.  I frequently take advantage of Tim Tabon due to his constant ability to get the job done.  I am at a loss to explain why I have yet to sing his praises to you. (I have written to you about Rowan in the past.)  Tonight is yet another example of how I come to him late with a panic call for a shipment request that he moves on without giving me grief. I deserved it and yet he was nice.  I was too late with my request tonight but none the less he made a great effort.  He is absolutely outstanding!  I, and my entire team, greatly appreciate him and his work. We could not be successful without him.

Tim,

THANK YOU for all you do for us. Thank you for your efforts and great personality (ie restraint from yelling or laughing at me, it was laughing with me, right??...). You are much appreciated.

Thanks for listening,

Michelle

Bob and Jim:

OHV had a ridiculous amount of premium air freight shipments starting on Thursday (8).  All were extremely significant to our production and all needed to be moved at relatively same "on fire" priority.  In addition to these air freight shipments, Kama and Bob were asked to deliver a consolidated trailer in remarkable speed.

Your team continues to show an amazing commitment to success while we place high demands upon them.  Although Kama was not on call this weekend, she entertained all of our calls with good spirit and excellent service to our OHV team. 

Please know that the International Team and indirectly the Routing Center is doing a fabulous job moving our freight and it is greatly appreciated while we work through these supply chain issues.

Hello, James,

I am the materials manager at the Denver CSC. Recently MR Tanks, p/n 41C611756P7, became quite a 'hot item' for our account. Over the past few days, I needed to report to my various sites, account leaders, and to our customer, the timing of when these tanks would be in inventory. Vendor is located in Mexico, and these are distributed to Denver CSC (SDC) from BAF in Texas. Updated and accurate information was needed and that is exactly what Raquel Rowan provided in a pro-active and professional manner. She was absolutely outstanding in her follow-up and, though not needed, she allowed me (with great patience) to explore possible alternatives to meeting our customers needs (changing routing, etc) as a 'just in case' precaution.  She has always responded to any of my requests, email or voicemail, in a timely manner. And, again, I cannot state enough how I appreciate how pro-active she is and to have her follow-up prior to having to be asked for status is simply refreshing and outstanding.

Thank you,

Michelle

Hello Jim,
        I work within Lord as a Material Control Coordinator importing rubber from Canada to our plants.  I have worked very closely with Mike Smith over the past two years and he never ceases to amaze me as to what he can pull off within a short window of notice.  Recently (last week) we had another major breakdown of a critical piece of machinery in the Bowling Green plant that required several short notice pick-ups and deliveries either to the plant or to a supplier and Mike always went the extra mile to help us, whether it was during the morning, evening or weekend, he always was there for us in support of what we were needing and in constant communication.  Without his help, we couldn't have minimized the impact we had with our production…we hardly missed a beat!  I wanted to share this with you because I feel Mike has Lord's best interest in mind and is a true professional in his ability to handle challenging situations as they arise.

Thank you,

"I just wanted to take a minute to bring to your attention, the incredible job Lisa Tisdale has been doing for us. Specifically regarding her work with our large Egyptian National Railway (ENR) contracts. Although we didn't get has much into 2007 sales, it wasn't due to lack of effort on Lisa's part. She has spent, and continues to spend, many hours both before and after her normal work hours, as well and working part of her Thanksgiving Christmas and New Year's holidays in support of these orders. If she were a GE employee, I would be nominating her for a $250 recognition award, but since she isn't, I can only hope that you offer a similar sort of program that you could nominate her for. In any case I just thought I should pass on our appreciation for Lisa's fine efforts. Thanks for your time."

I know that customers can drive you nuts, but she is very pleasant to talk to and somehow always manages to get the job done on time while dealing with our crazy request. Because of people like Elise it makes us look good to our customers. Please keep up the excellent work.

Yours truly,

Leanne is doing a kick-butt effort on the M&S. We are down to a few  stragglers for shippers for the kits, all of which are because of  extraneous issues like quality problems, late definition, etc. We  just had a call /w Hesse on the AMOT valves and it looks like they are  going to break free the quality issue late this week and squeak enough  out to get all sales covered. I did not need to say much of anything  on the call. She handled it very well.

GE definitely respects the efforts and results that Lauri and Jessica provide to us as part of the Logistics Plus Team. Their passion for 'making things happen' whenever required is why LP has been a mainstay of our operations for over ten years now.

I just wanted to point out the SUPER human effort that both Bob and Mitch put in this week. Bob and Mitch worked way above and beyond to get the lugs here from China. Along the way they had to overcome many obstacles that were out of their control, and they did it with outstanding results.

The engine production line would have been in a shutdown situation for the better part of a week if not for their efforts. I can't stress enough the positive impact I have had working with these outstanding gentlemen. Please pass on how grateful I / we are for their efforts.

Thank you,

I can only say good things about the help that Gretchen & Stacey provided in getting the mill and associated equipment to the job from China.  Gretchen even stayed in the cold rain with us until 3:00 AM on a Saturday morning to make sure everything was off-loaded and on the trucks.  That they came in under budget is amazing for what we had them do for us.  They also expedited and arranged Customs clearance for the TLT fans when TLT messed up, at no additional cost to Riley.  Extremely good people to deal with!

Marek was professional, customer focused and very good in conflict intervention.　 I was put in tough　situations at　EPL, with language barriers,　during our price negotiations. 　Marek tactfully intervened and diligently helped me to focus my thoughts during those situations.　 I do not have to add any more, you already know about Marek.

I wanted to recognize his support before I forget.　 We did not get all we want out of the renegotiation, but let me just say, both parties were successful in meeting their objectives .

GE Thermometrics was again recognized by ECI (Viasystems) for our outstanding performance and consistency as a supplier to this customer.

Thanks Sue for all your hard work.

Not sure if you saw this, but the Logistics staff did a fantastic job during this 'crisis'. Beba has been, and continues to be, fully engaged in my part/vendor strategies. Bob worked the phone lines like a telethon, seeing it all the way through. Not sure if it is part of your protocol, but a lunch or some special recognition is certainly in order. They worked extremely hard to assure we shipped loco's!

I would like to recognize Suzanne King for her outstanding efforts over the past few weeks. Recently sue has been working many late hours and has been willing to do what ever is necessary to ensure I have material when required. She really has gone the extra mile for me over the past few weeks with a demanding schedule.

Sue consistently demonstrates value to GE Grove City. In my opinion she takes expediting to a new level of performance. Rather than waiting for what is asked she consistently goes out of her way to ask questions and raise potential issues that would otherwise be delaying our engine shipments. She is transitioning into a role of not only expediting but proactively aiding in on-time shipments. This is a key area I'm seeking to improve and she is already ahead of the game.

Internally we have a process setup to recognize individuals for going the extra mile. If you have anything similar setup please recognize her for what she does for us. If there is something I should do let me know and I'll take care of it. I felt this should go thru your channels.

Thanks,

Just a quick note to let you know what a great job I think Dave Watkins is doing in support of UX core returns. We've expanded his original scope from coordination of returns and logistics to now include much more of the leadership in coordinating information gathering from CSRs. We use a metric called the Pedretti Factor to evaluate our progress in bringing in the aging cores. Dave has helped to improve it by 50% in the 6 months that he has assumed this responsibility. We set a year end goal for the Loco Parts group Pedretti factor score of 10,000 and Dave has positioned us to finish the year with an even better score. His organization and follow through are exceptional.

Thanks,

Just wanted to take a moment to give you some feedback on Ryan Sitter. Ryan has been such an outstanding addition to the Logistics team, & has always gone above & beyond to assist the GSC Finance Team / Sourcing teams w/ key projects & issues. I continuously tell Dave Kluz that Ryan deserves a promotion...Kevin sees the drive / motivation / commitment that Ryan exudes, & I have the privilege of working w/ him on an almost daily basis. His extensive transportation knowledge / expertise is impressive, & is well communicated to any  audience he entertains.

Just thought you should be aware...

Bon,

Even in the Reader's Digest version, AIRFREIGHT CANCELLED, is a welcome outcome even when it would have been at the supplier's expense. The dedicated persistence and tenacity of the LP team is what allows us to move to an airfreight cancelled scenario. Thanks to all for the passion for excellence that you bring to the job each and every day. We, as GE, are constantly after our suppliers to bring to us year over year deflation and when airfreight situations arise that a supplier has to absorb even when they are at fault eventually affects our negotiated pricing somewhere down the line and even if we don't want to admit it, GE pays for that airfreight in one form or another so once again, kudos to the team for effectively averting a costly situation with your attentive efforts!!!

Just wanted to drop you a line to mention that Biswa is really on top of things. He really steps up and takes charge.....he keeps me very informed and always seems to be there when I need answers.....even on Holidays. I buy annually over $10m from India, so it is very important to me to have someone I can count on and trust to provide accurate information. He does little extras for me as well...sends me weekly a intransit list which I have come to depend on.

He always does things by the book....what I mean....he will not ship without the PTAs being complete....and he keeps after me to do the PTAs so that I do not have issues or missed shipments. He does this in a very professional and assertive way!!

Please recognize his efforts!

I would like to inform you of the outstanding job done by the Mexico Logistics team in supporting and implementing a difficult task of getting some very high profile and customer sensitive parts shipped from Mexico to Erie this past week. Jeremy Chaffee took the lead with back up from Rachel Rowan. They both spent some weekend time and after hours making sure that everything ran smooth, which it did. Their outstanding effort allowed us to meet our customer expectations.

Please extend my gratitude to Jeremy and Rachel in the form of a "nite on the town award" for their efforts.

Let me introduce myself, I work here in Mexico in Guadalajara CSC(XGM) and maybe you don't know but this is my last day here in GE. The intention for this email is that I must tell you about an employee you have in your team, and her name is Raquel Rowan. I want to tell you that here in our shop we have a great appreciation for her, we have accomplished the promise dates we gave to our customer when she has participated with her experience and knowledge.

I remember she sent us an email like one or two months ago to have our feedback about her performance, but we didn't send any information about our feeling about it. So today I wanted to tell you about this. Here we appreciate Raquel as person, partner and friend. Please think in her anytime you have a promotion in your team.

Have a great day.

Thank you Raquel!

During my several years of experience working with GE Transportation's European suppliers, the single reoccurring positive feedback from them has been the excellent service Logistics Plus provides them with.  I have never failed to communicate this back not only to GE Transportation itself but also to GE Energy's Jenbacher Gas Engines Company.  The Logistics Plus service has significantly helped building and improving our supplier-relationships and assuring on-time delivery - even in numerous instances of extreme emergency!

Thank you very much for your help during these years!

I have had the opportunity to lead the shipping, receiving and currently support the Sourcing team with incoming material.  In all of these positions, your team has provided support with the tracking, scheduling, international shipments and general information. Whatever the need may be, you have been able to lend the support needed to get the task at hand done. The response your team has provided, even with short notice, we have still been able to meet the required deliveries. Your knowledge is a great asset to accomplishing my assignments and cannot say enough to what you have helped out with.

I can't begin to say enough about this team at GE Logistics, there response time is outstanding and they make my job so much easier.  I normally deal with Denise Bickerstaff, I know I that I can count on her no matter what to get my shipments where they need to go.  And if for some reason she is not in I still get outstanding service from another team member at GE Logistics.  I can't imagine not working with them there level of support is amazing.  It has always been a pleasure working this team and I hope we continue to do so.

Thanks,

We have been using the Rail Routing Center (Logistics Plus) for about three years and the service we have been provided has been the best I have seen in my 10+ years organizing shipments.  We were aquired by GE about five years ago and before that I was in charge of routing so I know of the numerous problems and hassles that come with dealing with shipping material.  One of the benefits of being acquired by GE we were able to have the benefit of having Logistics Plus handle our shipments.  Over the years the service has been top-notch especially with our representative Denise Bickerstaff.  On the rare occasion that a problem occured with our shipment, Logistics Plus went to great lengths to satisfy us and our customer.  The extra steps taken by Logistics Plus kept us in good standing with our customers and as a result strengthened our bottom line.

Should Logistics Plus not be our routing provider in the future GE will be losing a strong asset to our company as a whole

Kemp Buettner

Project Manager

GE Transportation

The Rail Routing Center has been an invaluable and key contributor on the ITCS China project.  They have provided sound advice and instruction from the very beginning of the project.  Without them, this project would not have been successful.  They have provided very useful information on working with the L/C, international shipping laws, international shipping paperwork and shipping methods.  Each time I have a question, they provide thorough answers in an extremely prompt manner.  We never have to wait on responses from the Rail Routing Center.  Also, they are careful to provide tracking numbers on shipments and are willing to check on the status of a shipment for you at any time.  They are very price conscience and are eager to share the most cost effective shipping method.  They are a joy to work with and they are truly experts that provide an extremely valuable service to Global Signaling.

My association with Logistics Plus began in October 2002 when I joined the Global Signaling, LLC operation in Missouri … and ran through my time of departure in March 2005.

During that 2.5 years, much of it as the Manager, Materials & Sourcing, I had the opportunity to work closely & frequently with our primary contact at Logistics Plus.  I was consistently impressed with the focus, dedication, and execution exhibited by the Logistics Plus team.  The Global Signaling operation is a relatively short-cycle business with customer orders often being expedited and re-routed.  The personnel at Logistics Plus were always available and supportive (even on weekends).

Based upon the level of support and commitment to our business, I would encourage you to give strong consideration to Logistics Plus.

This letter is response to request I received for a letter of reference for the Logistics Plus Group.  I have dealt with them over several years, first as Manager of Operations for GE Rail Solutions and then as a Program Manager for China LOCOTROL.  My experience with them over that time has been extremely positive.  All of the individuals I have come in contact with have been very professional and extremely knowledgeable.  I have dealt with them on several very complex customer critical shipments that required a tremendous amount of effort and their support on all of these projects was exceptional.

One of the things I like best about dealing with Logistics Plus is that they are one of the few organizations I have dealt with in GE that I only have to make one phone call and I know everything will be taken care of.  Everyone who works there is very proactive and very customer focused.  I can think of no one better to continue to support us in our import/export needs.

I have the highest regards for the LP logistics coordinators. With the small group of onsite representatives and the availability of the routing center, the things these people can perform amaze me. As a buyer I am put into difficult situations with getting parts here in a timely manner and the LP reps. don't even bat an eye when I call upon their expertise. I am very thankful for their support. Sometimes I may not make their job the easiest to perform, but I am very confident that the tasks will get completed when assigned. I deal mostly with Mitch Dougan and he has made my job more flexible with the "magic" he performs in getting my parts here. I don't really deal much with Bonnie Eccles, but when I need her she is always there if Mitch is either out or busy on another project. I am very happy with the service I receive and hope to continue receiving. Thank you for all of the hard work and continued support.

Quite simply put, they save our butts on a regular bases. Respectfully, Dean

Int'l Customer Service

I have several opportunities to interact with the personnel of Logistic Plus during my work tenure with GE Transportation – Rail from 1999 to 2005. I have closely worked with Logistic Plus (LP) in India, China, Jakarta and Erie-Pennsylvania during my assignments as Sourcing Leader in Asia sub continent as well as Sourcing Manager for Propulsion Center of Excellence.

LP, in my context, is a creative solution provider with a committed set of people who take ownership of the problem and work hard in exceeding expectation of customers. The approach is to customize the solution per the need and therefore it is seldom that there is a set methodology of providing service. The approach allows exploiting benefits with are possible in certain conditions. A few examples – Air Freighting large quantities of material during peak seasons, combine sea and air shipment to optimize cost and time for delivery, Consolidation of freight to economize  transportation costs, defining expectations to suppliers of GE and help them in planning and scheduling shipments.

Besides international logistics, domestic trucking plays a important role in feeding material to the shop especially if the business warrants a change in production schedule and there is no time slack available in getting the material. In numerous such situations, LP has proven to be a trusted partner shouldering the responsibility in monitoring movement of material and reporting the same to aide decision making.

I appreciate all the support provided by the team in Logistic Plus and will certainly recommend them as a solution provider to Logistic issues. If there is a need to contact me to get more details, please feel free to do so and I will detail the experiences.

I am sensitive to anything that negatively impacts our ability to serve our Customer Service Centers (CSC's) and/or warehouses for the materials provided by the Locomotive COE.

Materials provided by the Locomotive COE are turned over to Logistics Plus (not in packaged for shipment condition) for transmittal to their end destination. We expect --- and receive --- timely/safe to travel distribution of these materials.

We have many measurements, both internal and external, monitoring our performance to our customer within which Logistics Plus plays a large role. The results have been positive.

Additionally, on the rare (rare is good) occasion I contact Logistics Plus my inquiry is always satisfied in a timely professional manner.

On behalf of the CN Canadian and CN US operations I wish to recommend Logistic Plus for further work with GE.

Since GE started this CN operation in 1997 it sure would not have grown by 15-16% per year without the honest, respectful, dedicated, timely, expedient and responsive work from the people at GE Rail - Routing. Asides from support related to occasional Customs issues, Routing Erie help often with the very urgent moves of materials for units from other railroads like BNSF, UP, CSX and CP. Needless to say that within our Global economy North American Railroads do make deals also by "trading power", i.e. locomotives hours or HP.

I wish to mention that we are very satisfied with the weekends support also that we get for supporting the railroads who of course operate on 7/24 hours basis.

Please feel free to call me if further info are needed.

Hi my name is James Estok and I write the dmr's for bldg 12 . In my expierence in getting parts shipped out of bld 12 you could not ask for any better of a team of people from ge routing center. All the people there are courteous and very punctual about getting the product out the door. If it were me I would keep the system you have because it works . Also when I need products to go out to canada I call Mary Beth Sechez for custom papers and she is very punctual , courteous, and gets erverything done in a very quickly manner. Its only my opinion but I think you already have a good team of people and I do not think it could be better .

Even I have been with GE Transportation for only two years, It is my pleasure and glad to say that through the two years I have got through you all the services I need up to expectations and sometimes your services exceeded the expectations. Specifically dealing with you, I never got things delayed, and always I get the right on time reply, you always have been supportive w/out limitations, it is the same impression I had from my representatives in Egypt, whom you dealt with them more than me, I never heard from them any complain, they were always satisfied and happy working with you. On top of that, I will not forget to mention your compliance with the GE integrity and policy, I noticed several times how much you were aware and careful in complying with the GE policy, this is great, because compliance in GE is a practice that will go in parallel with growth.

Wish you all the success, and hope we will continue seeing you offering us your professional services.

Good luck and best regards,

I am writing to say a few words about my experience working with Darla Crowe and her team from Logistics Plus here at GE Transportation in Erie.

Most of my interaction has been centered around shipping $16.5 million of locomotive spare parts to QTR, our customer in China.  This process began about 1 year ago and continues until the last shipment of spares which should happen by mid-year.

Overall, my experience has been very positive.  I consider the Logistics Plus team to be very knowledgeable in the areas of Letter of Credit processing, transportation logistics/expediting, and documentation to support the same.  QTR has been a very demanding customer with numerous requirements that we found to be outside the normal course of our export business, probably caused by the fact the spares shipments were being imported duty-exempt.  Dealing with requirements of Chinese Customs and the documentation necessary to successfully allow the customer to import the goods was a great challenge to all of us.  Logistics Plus worked very closely with the GE functions to fulfill orders promptly and when issues came up, they responded quickly to fix them and meet the customer's requirements.

As an example, at the end of 2005 we conducted daily meetings to ensure the optimal amount of shipments to QTR.  Logistics Plus was always represented and responsive, regardless of which day it was around the holidays.  All involved did a great job making the shipments at the end of the year.  Another example is that we had a number of issues with our Letter of Credit because the original contract was not written with spare parts shipments in mind.  We all worked together to amend the Parts L/C where possible, and to properly document and successfully process the L/Cs where there were discrepancies due to changing circumstances we could not control.  Bottom line is we had no significant payment issues.

If you have any questions of me or want to discuss our experience in more detail, please do not hesitate to call.

Best regards,

I have had the privilege of working with several team members of the Export Service Group over the past ten years in my capacity of Asia Sales Manager. My sales accounts included India, Pakistan, Indonesia, Bangladesh, Australia, New Zealand and several other international customers. Many of my former accounts included customers that GE required Letters of Credit as the method of payment . Throughout this time period ESG has performed very well and has gone above and beyond on several occasions to meet some of my more difficult customer and their foreign banks demands. ESG has kept GE from missing numerous end of quarter issues with their experience and efforts to make thing happen.

I would whole heartily support the continuation of the long term relationship with ESG as the proffered support team. The years of experience dealing with the GE customer in Pakistan, India, Indonesia, etc. is a wealth of knowledge not easily replaced. The close proximity to the sales team and Erie is imperative for the continued success and growth of the GE Parts International business.

In previous roles as International Parts Sales & Marketing Manager, and later as Global Parts Customer Service Manager, I was a primary beneficiary of the Export Service Group's (ESG) support for over five years. I've seen Darla Crowe and her team continuously add new responsibilities while always delivering an outstanding level of service. We've counted on them to resolve significant logistics problems in order to ensure that international sales revenues were maximized at the end of every quarter. Their expertise in managing letters of credit has ensured prompt payment on numerous complicated contracts. The ESG team always puts in the extra hours to make sure we're able to deliver on our promises to customers. Everyone on the team is a true professional - all technically proficient as well. We've been incredibly fortunate to have a team like this to partner with in serving our international customer base.

The work that ESG performs for GE Transportation is invaluable. You folks have become an integral part of the GE Team and have an in-depth knowledge of our customers and business practices. In fact, we fail to see any line of distinction between ESG as a contractor and GE; we are all one team with the same goal ... customer success.

The ESG team does not hesitate to take the extra step or initiative to resolve issues and have developed a great rapport with the field sales managers, customers and banking institutions. In fact, we depend on you and your co-workers to keep us in line and lend your expertise as required.

The services you perform for us relating to Receivables, Compliance, Inspections, and general logistics are an integral part of our business, and the International Parts and Apparatus Group totally rely on your knowledge and support.

Thanks for all you do; and I think I speak for the total International Team when I say that we look forward to our continued relationship and support of the entire Logistics Plus Organization.

P.S. Jim, you have a great team and we don't know how we would get along without them!

The service by Logistics Plus has been outstanding in every  interaction I've had with them. Their depth of expertise in the transportation industry provides year over year cost out opportunities that they continue to help us realize. They always answer our demanding needs with a smile. They are a pleasure to work with and I fully support continuing the relationship we have.

The crew at Logistics Plus has been very helpful through-out the years. They went the extra step to insure our needs were met. They have taken the lead on new product transportation requirements, developing multiple cab loading techniques to insure the lowest cost transportation from our Mexico suppliers. They are helpful, courteous, and exhibit commitment to getting the job done.

Hi Morning,

I think the logistic service by your team has been very goods. Facts are: whenever I required a status of a part number, you can always get it for me; also, there were some quite tough custom clearing issues involved in logistic, your team managed very well. All those saved a lot of time for me.

I've been associated with material transportation for the last 25 years and know the value of having a logistics team that goes above and beyond to meet our ever changing needs and unique situations.  I've been involved with Logistics Plus for the last 10 years and can personally state that after the initial start up problems, Logistics Plus addressed our issues and quickly responded to resolve any and all problems. Their understanding of our unique needs and matching them with the external transportation world is a valued asset.

With the businesses focus on Lean Manufacturing and supplier on time delivery, it would be a great stumbling block to change our

logistics team at this point. I hope all aspects of material movement will be considered before a final decision is made.

Thanks

I would like to say the entire Logistic Plus team, global team as well as the domestic team, does an excellent job communicating what has been shipped with an ETA week or day. I have many parts in India as well as Czech Republic, Russia, and UK.....and this global team always is available for me at my time which may be in late hours of the night (their time). I am provided a spreadsheet on what has shipped from Europe as well as from India. I find this information extremely important to communicate to my customer........PRODUCTION. I know exactly when parts are due to arrive in port and also at HCW. I am able to work with the Erie team in the event that I can not wait for rail transportation from port to Erie. Always the team attempts to find alternatives to expedites or finds the lowest cost expedite.

I have called with only a part number and have been able to get not only the vessel number, port of entry and but most important ETA to either HCW or the plant. I have all the confidence in the integrity of the information. I understand that to some, this may be viewed as "their job", however they go above and beyond to keep me informed of issues, concerns, or just to let me know parts are on track.

I want to add that in the event air shipments are necessary, my experience with the team in these countries as well as Erie...is that they attempt to find the lowest mode of transportation and come forward with ideas....like maybe combination of air and sea shipment....or other ideas to keep the cost of the transportation down.

This entire team has made me more efficient, effective and much more productive. The team has earned my trust, therefore I am able to focus my efforts on deflation for the business

The team knows and understands the parts, the suppliers and of course.......THE CUSTOMER........GE Infrastructure!

Pola,

I have had nothing but positive responses and courteous service in my dealings with the routing center. The international section has been very helpful on many of my emergencies for AMTRAK with supplier Vossloh. The in country group has jumped through hoops to keep us in locomotive batteries during a time that we were switching suppliers. Hopefully you will be successful in your bid, so that we may continue receiving the same excellent service.

As an expense buyer 10 years ago, I worked with the fledgling Logistics Plus as they became the Routing Center for Transportation Systems.  We negotiated items including rates, invoice payments, and scope of services rendered.  Working with Jim and the team in open, honest, discussions yielded positive, constructive results for everyone.

10 years later, I'm a consumer, albeit rare, of Logistics Plus services.  When I need them, they are there.  The team is quick, efficient, knowledgeable and easy to work with.  It's usually an Out of Service crisis situation when I need their expertise and they never fail to delight with their level of service.

Recommending Logistics Plus for additional GE businesses is easy to do.  Logistics Plus understands and embodies the GE Spirit, embracing it rather than being intimidated.  Any business they serve will benefit from the expertise and high standards of service provided on a daily basis.

If there is any additional information needed regarding this recommendation, please do not hesitate to contact me.

We have been using Logistics+ for approximately 3+ years and this is the first I have actually gone on to the website. In 2004, Logistics+ was awarded our in-house Service Award and I wanted to commend Logistics+ on the EXCELLENT service you provide to not only Sterling Technologies, but to other companies we have referred. Josh Mazur is truly an asset to your operation and is terribly missed when is he out of the office on consignment! Josh goes above and beyond the call of duty on every occassion. He has pulled through for us in every situation and is an absolute pleasure to deal with! Kudos to Jessica Ardillo who steps up to the plate in Josh's absence - another fantastic employee! We sincerely appreciate all of the effort put forth by Logistics+! Keep up the great work and thank you!

I just want to let you know how good of a job James Tupper and Khash Azizollahi are doing. They have bailed me out more than a few times. Yesterday, the Wind area was shut down due to parts that were unexpectedly DMR'd. We had to get parts our of Canada ASAP. Between 7 am and 2:30, they were able to get transportation set up, get the truck there for pick up, clear the paperwork with customs before the truck even got there, and get the parts we needed here. Everyone here was astonished that we could get parts from Canada over he border in such a short period of time. This is only one example.

Just wanted to let you know.

Thanks,

I just wanted to drop you a quick note about Bonnie. Bonnie is filling in for Mitch Dougan as he is out due to a death in the family. Bonnie has performed well above any expectations I could have ever had for her. She was able to expedite into Grove City three different part numbers that would have shut the engine production line down. She did this with minimum direction or input from me, simply put I told Bonnie what I needed and she bent over backwards to get these parts for me. Bonnie is an outstanding member of your team, and a great addition to ours as well. Please let Bonnie know that her efforts and professionalism are exactly what we all should be striving towards daily. I can't tell you enough how much Bonnie has impressed me, having only worked directly with her for one day.

Thank you,

Just wanted to thank you again for all you help in getting the Morgan/Finland order out at the last minute.  I tried all week to get a confirmation on the ship date so I could give you a heads up but I wasn't getting confirmation.

I know at 4:45 on the last shipping day of the month to find out you had to get a special air shipment/customs paperwork, etc. together was not easy.  I appreciate your jumping through hoops for us.

I received calls from Jeremy and James last night - excellent news about getting the parts up to Latham late last night. I really want to thank James Tupper (Jeremy gave him all the credit) for being so aware of the importance of this shipment and diligently seeing it through to delivery in Latham. There were so many obstacles, that I'm sure it would have been easy to give up on getting the parts last night, but James' efforts really made the impossible happen. Thank you very much to everyone that understood the importance of this shipment and seeing it through to delivery in Latham.

Great job by all involved in getting this part into Latham last night...Francisco, Jeremy, Eileen, Patti and especially James for hitting the winning run in the bottom of the 9th of a hard battled game!

This was critical for GE Rail as a whole, not just Latham, to maintain business from one of our customers for the next 2 years.

To repeat some of my statements:  All of our (GE Rail) suppliers I have met, visited, audited, in Europe are very satisfied with the work, help, assistance, cooperation they have been receiving from Logistics+.  There is no point listing the names of countries or companies involved:  I have not heard anything but the expression of gratitude and satisfaction from our suppliers so far - and I have been here for two years now!

And there are not only our suppliers who are satisfied:  I am too!  For example, concerning only today's "emergency delivery" of EVO piston parts from KS Kolbenschmidt in Germany to Chicago O'Hare (ORD):  After KS telling me that the parts were packed and ready to go two days ago but they still do not have a flight for today, I contacted Marek Bures in the Prague office.  As usual, he offered his help, called KS immediately and, within minutes, KS contacted me confirming the flight this afternoon...  I am not sure that Marek's involvement had been "the trigger" in this case, nevertheless, his response, direct and immediate involvement, "taking charge" attitude are very typical of what we can expect from Logistics+ in Europe!

Thank you very much again and have a wonderful Memorial Day!

When GETS needed a third party logistics company to help manage their transportation needs, they had the pick of any company on earth. They chose Logistics⁺. In 1996 we set up the GE Transportation Systems Routing Center and have helped save over $4 million in transportation costs, as well as providing GETS' numerous assembly lines with just-in-time delivery. These efficiencies have helped GE Transportation Systems reduce inventory and achieve record growth, production and profitability. The Logistics⁺ team of experienced transportation professionals, with our recipe of energy, resourcefulness, out-of-the-box creativity and our trademark "Passion for Excellence," has been officially recognized as a GE Corporate "Best Practice."

Ken & Craig,

Thank you very much for going beyond the call of duty late last Friday 12-3-2004.

BNSF 4553 was out of service for a plug 41A216641ABP11. Barstow did not discover the need for this plug until about 2:15 pst (or 5:15 est) on a Friday. There were zero in stock at the warehouse. Dan Kalie & I called everyone we could think of that worked in control, but we just hit the voice recorders, one after another. Finally about 5pm pst (or 8pm est) we got a call from Craig, stating that he received the plug from Ken, and he was waiting for a special courier to arrive. The plug arrived Saturday afternoon, the locomotive BNSF 4553 was fixed & is now pulling freight.

Thank you both!

"Just wanted to let you know, that Logistic Plus team came through for us on the GEB20 frame. Christian Sundberg spent night and day with forwarders and customs to keep these parts moving.....he actually stopped the train and got the container unloaded ahead of other trains. He knew how critical these parts were to our business and he did whatever was necessary to support his original commitment of parts being here on Friday 2/13. He knew that this was a show stopper for us and could cost the business in excess of $50k if we did not get the part on 2/13.

I want to thank you and your Logistics Plus team for excellent customer support.  I'm specifically referring to an incident that occurred at 9:30 pm on Friday, September 24th.  I found out that we did not have any 12 cylinder oil pans for the frame line, which would very quickly result in missed engine shipments and severe production delays.  I called Bonnie Kaczmarek's cell phone at 10:00 and interrupted a Friday night football game that she was attending.  I explained the severity of this issue to Bonnie and she told me she would make some phone calls and call me back.  Approximately one hour later, Bonnie had coordinated a late night shipment of the pans from Hardinger to Grove City (which meant finding
a driver and opening the warehouse in the middle of the night).  We were able to make our shipments on time, thus avoiding a production disaster.  Thanks again to your team and especially to Bonnie!

This note is to recognize that Duane has gone "above & beyond" to resolve a critical delivery issue.  An Ameridrives key mill customer was actually shutdown due damage they did to some of our parts Saturday night at 2:00. After I found I could not ship direct from the airport counter at 5:00 AM Sunday, I called Duane at that early hour who immediately began verifying options available.  To make a long story short, at 8:30 AM Sunday Duane & I personally loaded the parts on a truck at Ameridrives which arrived at the Alabama mill site by 7:30 that night.

His assistance was invaluable & was done even as he had to take away his time on a Sunday while he had relatives in town.  He did this while maintaining his terrific attitude & took personal commitment & responsibility to see the job through.  He has proven many times to be a valuable asset to the Mill Products team on many other occasions, but I feel this particular example deserves special notice as he is a pleasure to work with & a real asset to our success.  This customer service will lead to over $50K of sales with a very satisfied customer.
