01-09-2014 A Closer Look at how the Material Handling Industry Creates Efficiency in the Supply Chain
EVENT OVERVIEW:
Material handling is now a strategic decision rather than a tactical activity. Businesses are under increased pressure to reduce inventories, improve order-to-delivery cycles, and adapt to changing buying patterns and behaviors. Software and information technology are converging with material handling equipment, providing customers with more efficient and easier to maintain equipment.
This event will provide attendees the opportunity to see the supply chain from the perspective of a supplier. Associated is one of the largest integrated supply chain solution providers in North America. During this event attendees will receive an industry overview presentation followed by a tour of the Associated facility that will include educational demonstrations about the industry and how companies like Associated provide solutions to customers.
The educational demonstrations of solutions at designated areas of the facility will include:
– Lift Truck Fleet Optimization
