The Physical Internet concept is introduced as an emerging long-term solution to achieving a more sustainable global supply chain. The Physical Internet is an open global-logistics system founded on physical, digital and operational interconnectivity, through encapsulation, interfaces and protocols. The Physical Internet is intended to replace current logistical models.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Ch3\u003EWho Should Attend\u003C\/h3\u003E\u003Cul\u003E\u003Cli\u003ESupply chain and logistics executives, managers\u003C\/li\u003E\u003Cli\u003EGovernment managers\u003C\/li\u003E\u003Cli\u003ERegional planners\u003C\/li\u003E\u003Cli\u003EPort operations managers\u003C\/li\u003E\u003Cli\u003EManufacturers\/retailers\u003C\/li\u003E\u003Cli\u003ELogistics service providers\u003C\/li\u003E\u003C\/ul\u003E\u003Ch3\u003EHow You Will Benefit\u003C\/h3\u003E\u003Cul\u003E\u003Cli\u003EUnderstand the challenges of maintaining a sustainable global supply chain in light of inadequate infrastructure and continued growth\u003C\/li\u003E\u003Cli\u003ELearn how the Savannah region will be impacted by sustainability challenges\u003C\/li\u003E\u003Cli\u003EGain an understanding of the concept of the Physical Internet and what it implies for global trade and Port regions\u003C\/li\u003E\u003Cli\u003EKnow the current state of global implementation of the Physical Internet\u003C\/li\u003E\u003Cli\u003EGain an understanding of the components of the Physical Internet through visual simulation scenarios\u003C\/li\u003E\u003Cli\u003EConvey an understanding of how PI will impact ocean, road, and rail transportation and distribution center operations\u003C\/li\u003E\u003C\/ul\u003E\u003Ch3\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EThe Instructor\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/h3\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022http:\/\/www.isye.gatech.edu\/users\/benoit-montreuil\u0022 target=\u0022_blank\u0022\u003EDr. Benoit Montreuil\u003C\/a\u003E, Professor and Coca-Cola Material Handling \u0026amp;
