AL Systems Announces Lean Distribution Webinar
Webinar to outline steps for going Lean in a distribution center, as well as the functional areas to focus on, and the benefits to be gained.
- Newark, NJ (1888PressRelease) April 24, 2011 - AL Systems, a leading provider of Warehouse Control System and Order Fulfillment Automation solutions, announces their next webinar titled Lean Distribution on May 12, 2011.
Lean distribution is based on the same philosophy and concepts that came out of the Lean manufacturing wave, so popular with companies, as a way to optimize production operations. Lean distribution considers the expenditure of resources for any reason other than for creating value for the end customer to be wasteful, and therefore, a target for elimination. Value is defined as any action or process for which a customer would be willing to pay for. The ultimate goal of any Lean methodology is to create more value with less work and investment.
Today, companies implementing Lean Distribution operations are seeing returns on their investment, in lean process re-engineering and automation, of less than two years and in many cases, under 16 months. Many companies are seeing savings of $1 million or more the first year, and annually after that.
Upon attending this webinar, the audience will learn the steps for implementing Lean processes in their Distribution Centers, as well as the functional areas to focus on, and the benefits to be gained.
