MANAGING AND IMPROVING WAREHOUSE OPERATIONS

WHY YOU SHOULD ATTEND

Warehousing and physical distribution are changing dramatically! New approaches and methods offer opportunities to cut costs substantially while improving overall operations. In addition, many organizations are now focusing on the impact of the warehouse’s bottom-line and are trying to bring warehouse operations more closely into their organizations.

Companies that make the best use of the basic principles of planning and managing warehouse operations have a competitive advantage. Companies that lack warehouse strategic planning and operational excellence lose profits, market share, cost advantages, and market leadership.

More and more, you are being asked to increase customer service, reduce inventories, increase productivity, handle more and more stock-keeping units, and operate in less and less space. We’ll show you how to meet these challenges and win!

This intensive and practical two-day seminar on Managing and Improving Warehouse Operations will help you stay in touch with the most important new concepts in the warehousing/distribution field.
