The session will include two presentations - from Kevin Smith, Senior Vice President, Supply Chain & Logistics, CVS/pharmacy, and Dale Lewis, a labor specialist at rail road CSX Transportation. Lewis and Smith will be joined later for a panel session that will also include: Joe Coughlin, head of AgeLab, a unit of MIT-CTL; Brian McNamara, chairman, Material Handling Industry of America; Dexter W. Shurney, Senior Vice President and Chief Medical Officer Healthways, Inc.; and MIT-CTL’s Ken Cottrill, who will be the moderator.
