Reduce Costs Without reducing Service
A recent survey of warehouse and distribution center decision makers shows that many of their companies are reducing staff and consolidating facilities in order to reduce costs. However, in order to still stay competitive, a majority is improving warehouse processes and inventory control, and about half are changing their layouts. If you are taking similar steps to stay cost competitive, this seminar will help.
