1. Eaton’s Cargo Claims ProgramA Strategic, Value-Add Approach
May 11, 2011
2. Thought we could just use this picture as a bit of an ICE breaker….My experience shows the audience LOVES really crazy cargo loss pictures.
This begs the question…what would be the first thing you would do if you had cargo on here?
We are going to take you on a claims journey….I will now turn it over to JenniferThought we could just use this picture as a bit of an ICE breaker….My experience shows the audience LOVES really crazy cargo loss pictures.

5. Eaton’s Sectors
6. Industrial Sector Was 6Was 6
7. Electrical Sector Was 7
Key Messages:
Electrical Sector very global business today
January announced an important transition – away from tech to global.
All made possible by three large acquisitions (Moeller, Ptec, MGE OPS)
Brought in talent and scale
Will give an update on each of these segments a bit later.

Reason for our success and why the ECIB program exists
Have a few words POP from this slide…this program allowed Eaton to improve in these areas and we are about to show you how.

9. Why Focus on Cargo Claims? was 11was 11
10. Joint initiative between Risk Management and Logistics
Decentralized claim handling processes and data
No transparency
No claims tracking or metric capability
Inexperience and lack of time to resolve losses
Partial recoveries
Unreported claims
Unrealized insurance recoveries
Not a core competence
No leverage
Process inefficiencies
Customer frustration and receivable write-offs
Tangible/intangible costs
Bottom line, we lacked global visibility
Analysis of Current Process – Pre 2006 was 12
Joint initiative between logistics and Risk management
As you probably know, both departments have a vested interest in cargo loss but yet sometimes it is unclear who has ownership for this responsibility.
As we began exploring this we discovered a big need for improvement here. Some of the things we discovered were as listed here.
So we decided to join forces to find and implement a solution that would benefit both departments and most importantly bring value to Eaton as a whole on a global basis. So we needed a solution that was scaleable around the world.was 12

11. Eaton’s Cargo Profile
Large OEM customers or end users with their own cargo insurance programs
Contractors, distributors and construction projects
Electrical and Industrial Hydraulics markets
5 million shipments / year;
150,000 imports and exports for China / year
1 billion truck miles logged in the Americas region / year
700 carriers of all types used in the Americas
100 carriers of all types used in China
250 carriers of all types used in EMEA
100 warehouse operations worldwide
Large and sophisticated Logistics Network - Internal, 3PLS, Direct service providers, freight forwarders and LLP Was 10
The 5M shipment count is probably an OK global number. Based on what we
have information for and the purpose of this presentation it is a good
approximation. For example, we do not have a good handle on APAC
shipment count and select regions in the Americas such as Brazil and
Latin America.
Rather than show 5M outbound shipments, can you change this to read: 5M
Eaton paid shipments per year. It probably does not matter if they are
outbound or inbound.
Rather than break out the type of shipments, can you reference that this
includes all modes such as parcel, TL, LTL, expedite, ocean and air.
Some general stats that you may want to use under the comment of a
complex supply chain.

12. To create a centralized cargo claims administration function that will
provide expert support,
reduce Eaton’s risk of loss, and
maximize claim recovery.
How do we achieve this
Outsource or service internally?
Mission Statement Was 13
Was 13
13. Value of a Third Party Model
Claims Management is an outsourced process that leverages the expertise of cargo claim professionals for:
Reporting
Resolution
Recovery
Visibility
Analysis
Allowed Eaton to
Avoid purchasing software for non-core functions
Avoid hiring / training claims staff
Have existing staff focus on primary job functions
Execute strategic direction to minimize transportation management complexity
Given the audience I think this will be a good slide…Some of these people will not have even thought of outsourcing cargo claims. They will not even know this is an option, even though TPA’s commonly used in the insurance industry.
You could say something like
“while outsourcing is nothing new in the logistics or insurance industries, it is actually the norm in the insurance industry to outsource claims handling.
While third party claims administrators have been around for decades for some lines of insurance there are not many that actually specialize in cargo claims.
These are the considerations we used the evaluate the solution,
- capabilities of the third party
- benefits to Eaton
This is the core compentance of a third party claims administrator
They have the staff knowledge to deal with tough claims and get the most favorable resolution
They have the systems to record the claims, make them visible over the web and do the KPI analysis
NEW NOTE 4/28
Creates a standard
process for the logistics function aligned with its strategic direction
to minimize transportation management complexity.

17. Metrics – Claim Paid, Volume and Liability by Carrier You could say
“Our logistics teams really love this data for a few reasons.
During carrier review, we now have the data of how many claims there were, how much was paid and how quick they were paid. This is much better then having the carrier tell us how many claims we had with them. Let’s them know we are watching
We can now do our own damage ratio by carrier. This data provides the numerator, then we apply the denominator of how many shipments to come up with the ratio. Then we can compare carriers and set goals for improvements with the carriers.
Same as previous slide
Gives our logistics team the knowledge on carrier performance regarding claims handling
In some cases the carrier has paid more then their contracted liability limits – You could say

19. This measurement allows us to see who is participating and who is not. Also allows us to identify who should probably have more claims based on the type of shipments or volume they have. Allows us to focus on finding more claims
MM- same why 2008, not sure if this graph is the best

20. Metrics – Analysis of Loss by Cause Loss by commodity – emphasis training opportunities by location or customers that need additional training. Proper receiving and handlng of damaged goods.. Rolling out some internal training right now as a result of the data
MM – need to get all graphs to be the same color. All blue, etc probably the Eaton color’s so it looks consistent.Loss by commodity – emphasis training opportunities by location or customers that need additional training.

22. Monthly Balanced Scorecard INSERT BALANCED SCORECARD SAMPLE You could say something like during our formal QBRs we get these detailed reports but we have recently evolved into a 2 page balanced scorecard format that is prepared on a monthly basis and give both Logistics and Risk Management a closer finger on the pulse of how the program and freight carriers are performing
