Eskay president slated to deliver ProMat keynote address

Eskay's Allred will deliver ProMat 99's keynote address on Tuesday, Feb. 9.

By Staff -- Modern Materials Handling, 2/1/1999

James K. Allred will deliver the keynote address at ProMat 99. As part of the event's Educational Forum, Allred's speech is scheduled for 1 p.m. Tuesday, February 9th at McCormick Place in Chicago.

Allred will examine the transformation of materials handling into a value-added process. A new model combines fast, efficient material movement with real-time information flow to support just-in-time delivery, make-to-order manufacturing, and responsive customer service.

Using case studies and statistics, Allred will demonstrate how this approach to materials handling could play a decisive role in global competitiveness in the next century.

With 30 years in the materials handling industry, Allred helped to establish Eskay in 1990. As director of factory automation for Intel Corporation, he developed and implemented programs designed to improve quality and reduce operating costs at Intel's 19 worldwide manufacturing plants.

Allred is an internationally known author and speaker on material control and logistics, implementing advanced manufacturing/distribution concepts in world markets, and installing automated logistics systems. Last month, he won the Reed-Apple award for outstanding life long contribution to materials handling education.
