DINNER PROGRAM
TOPIC: 2008 Warehouse/DC Operations Survey Results
SPEAKER: Geoff Sisko - Transystems/Gross & Associates
Logistic Magazine’s 3rd Annual Warehouse/DC Operations survey revealed that today’s DC managers are “battening down” their operations as they ride out 2008’s economic storm. Although some managers have tried keeping warehouses and DCs “leaner and greener,” most are proceeding with caution, sticking with the equipment and plans they already have in place, and making very few plans for expansion. In short, managers are holding tight.
Geoff Sisko of TranSystems /Gross & Associates will dig into all of the details of this highly anticipated annual survey and offer the annual state of warehouse and DC operations in North America at the dinner meeting following the tour of newegg.com.
Geoff spent twenty-four years in operations and two years in consulting prior to joining Gross & Associates seventeen years ago. Gross & Associates was acquired by TranSystems Corporation in May of 2008. Geoff is an Assistant Vice President at TranSystems. His career has included experience in manufacturing, distribution, production and inventory control, construction management and general management.
