摘要
帕特里克·赫拉然不辞辛苦地为航运公司提供精准、翔实的进出口预报，帮助他们将卡地纳健康集团的医疗设备和用品运往世界各地。他定期将这些预报通过电子邮件发送给航运公司，而航运公司则把这些预报与其他托运人通过电子邮件发送的预报综合起来，从而对运力需求有个粗略的估算。
Logistics managers are answering calls for change with some of their own details on how to overhaul a frayed shipping business model.Patrick Halloran takes great pains to provide the carriers that transport Cardinal Health's global shipments of medical supplies with his best and most accurate forecasts of imports and exports,which he periodically e-mails to shipping lines.The carriers compile them with forecasts e-mailed by other shippers to create a rough outlook of demand.It's a rough way to align supply and demand in high-stakes businesses built on high-value assets.Halloran believes there has to be a better way.
