Global supply chain seminar on demand

By Staff -- Modern Materials Handling, 1/1/2006

Available on demand, Modern's Global Supply Chain Conference can be accessed online. James P. Womack, president of the Lean Enterprise Institute, delivers the keynote and addresses how the principles of lean production can be applied successfully to supply chain management.

Womack is one of the world's leading authorities on lean—and one of its most forceful advocates. He's the co-author of the business bestsellers Lean Thinkingand The Machine that Changed the World. His most recent book, written with long-time collaborator Daniel T. Jones, is Lean Solutions.

Also participating in the conference is John Fontanella, senior vice president and research director of supply chain services at the AberdeenGroup.

Fontanella discusses with Modern's editorial director Gary Forger the results of Modern's industry-wide survey of the latest buying and usage trends in materials handling equipment and systems and related information systems. A special emphasis of this session is the shifts in practices, issues and metrics that impact the throughput and efficiency within the four walls of the plant and warehouse.
