Executive Panel to Discuss Yard Operations as an Emerging Supply Chain Risk

Senior supply chain executives will examine key findings from new research on yard logistics led by Bart De Muynck during an upcoming online event.

HENDERSON, Nev., March 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- YMX Logistics, a leading national third-party logistics provider specializing in integrated yard logistics for enterprise shippers, will host an online event in partnership with Bart De Muynck, former Vice President of Research at Gartner and independent researcher, on April 2, 2026, at 1:00 PM EDT. The session will discuss findings from De Muynck's latest Market Radar research on yard logistics and will examine how yard operations are emerging as a growing source of operational and financial risk within modern supply chains.

Additionally, the research has identified several emerging market signals, and the panel will explore what these trends mean for enterprise leaders responsible for yard operations performance across multi-site distribution networks.

De Muynck comments, "Supply chains today are operating in an environment defined by persistent volatility. Labor shortages, transportation congestion, cargo theft, geopolitical disruptions, and increasing pressure to control costs and emissions have made operational execution more complex than ever. As variability increases across transportation networks, distribution centers and manufacturing facilities are increasingly required to absorb that operational pressure locally. In many cases, that pressure converges in the yard, and most enterprise yard operations are not equipped for that."

The online event, titled "Yard Operations: The Silent Risk Degrading Supply Chain Performance," will be moderated by Bart De Muynck and will feature a panel of experienced supply chain leaders, including:

Philippe Lambotte: former SVP of Logistics at Johnson & Johnson, Mattel, and Kraft Heinz

Tim Scott: former Chief Supply Chain Officer at Grocery Outlet

Matt Yearling: CEO of YMX Logistics
