Two and a Half Days with Grant W. Howard

We will discuss "Best Practices" inventory management and give attendees the solid foundation and understanding required for any serious inventory program in your company. Operations, systems, sales, warehousing, and management will be discussed with a concentration on inventory management and replenishment. An in-depth look at the processes and practices of automated replenishment and proper inventory management will be examined. What it is, how to make it work, the "watch outs," and what to expect will be reviewed. Product usage/demand, lead times, order points, line points, order quantities, safeties, and properly maintaining product levels will be discussed. What the different parameters mean, how to set them up, and how to maintain your inventory management package; as well as tips and tricks will be covered.

 

The first day is a powerful session for any distributor that wants a “get results” Inventory Management program regardless of what system they are using. All levels of the company, from the president and executive level management through the entire ranks of the organization should attend.  Infor’s ERP SX.enterprise will be used for the demonstration ERP system on the second and third day, but all three days are applicable to any distribution system and distributor.

 

Class size is LIMITED – This workshop is expected to fill up fast! Don’t miss the opportunity to be part of this unique experience and to take your company’s bottom line, customer service and inventory management practices to the next level.
