Peter Jackson, Logistics Program professor with Humber College approached JD Smith with the idea for this tour. The 90-students arrived from China in August 2011 and will complete their logistics and business program studies in May. Peter chose to tour JD Smith to represent the Canadian logistics industry for its long-standing reputation as a quality third-party logistics and distribution provider.
Coordinating the tour took some planning to demonstrate the wide range of customized warehousing and transportation solutions in operation for JD Smith clients. The 90-students rotated through various stations spread out across different facilities.

| •Information Technology solutions |
|
| •Racking concepts, maximizing space |
|
| •HACCP CFIA, commitment to quality |
|
| •Commitment to truck maintenance |
|
