Every distributor has one or more warehouses. But few realize that efficient and effective warehouse operations are a key element to success and profitability.
In this webinar, Jon Schriebfeder and Matt Schreibfeder, STAFDA’s Inventory Consultants, will explore how a few simple practices will help members ensure the on-hand quantities of stocked products are consistently accurate and that your team efficiently stores items in order to minimize the cost of filling orders. Also included will be a cost/benefit analysis of implementing new material-handling technology.
This free webinar will be a 60-minute session: 45 minutes of fast-paced module followed by 15 minutes of Q & A.
