Message from the President
Dear Members and Friends:
I hope you got a chance to attend the Volkswagen tour in March. It was a great lesson in fine tuning operational processes to meet the unique needs of a distribution center. They have really done a lot with very little automation. It just goes to show you that sometimes a simple approach to improving your operation is better.
This May we have an exciting new tour. We will be touring the brand new Prudential Center in downtown Newark. Don’t let the location scare you away, downtown Newark is bustling and safe. We are going to see the operations behind the curtain, meaning we will learn how they get food, retail merchandise, and other supplies distributed to all the right areas in time for hungry fans.
Their operations managers will show us what technology they use to keep people and product moving in the right direction. It will be interesting as well as entertaining for those of us who are sports fans. For those of us who are not sports fans it will still be a lot of fun. The “Rock”, as it is known, also hosts concerts and other civic events that require all the infrastructure and support. Please join us to see a unique and rare view of what makes the arena really move.
