We all know the purpose of yellow cards in football, but it seems they are the way forward for the logistics industry, according to DHL and Birds Eye.
In a joint presentation at this year’s Logistics Manager Summit, DHL’s vice president operations, Gavin Lucas, and Birds Eye’s group distribution manager, Peter Broome, took to the stage to present a case study on their partnership.
In their presentation, Not What You Do, But How You Do It, they said that when it comes to a successful partnership, honesty and openness are crucial.
“When something goes wrong, we don’t point the finger of blame,” said Broome.

“We have a yellow card system, where we stop and analyse what has gone wrong.”
Lucas added: “When we have a problem, we fix it first then sit down and assess it between us.
“In a partnership no one gets the blame.”
The Logistics Manager Summit took place at Sandown Park Racecourse in Esher, on Wednesday 12th February.
