Raleigh,
NC, June 17, 2002—Tompkins Associates, a global
leader in providing total supply chain solutions through operations
consulting, technology implementation and material handling
integration, will offer its fourth Webcast in the "Achieving
Supply Chain Excellence" series with "Looking Up
and Down the Chain: Network Optimization, Warehousing, Logistics

EDT. Tompkins Associates President and Founder Dr. James A.
Tompkins will host the event joined by leading supply chain
and operations experts. Registration is free and available

According
to AMR Research, "Warehouses have become networked distribution
and fulfillment centers, expanding the focus of WMS packages."
"Looking Up and Down the Chain: Network Optimization,
Warehousing, Logistics and Transportation" will help
attendees understand how to move beyond business as usual
and work with customers and partners to create truly collaborative
supply chains through the implementation of best practices
that optimize distribution networks, take advantage of WMS
technology and streamline logistics and transportation systems.
The fourth
Webcast in Tompkins Associates "Achieving Supply Chain
Excellence" series will reveal how to implement supply
chain simulation models to make distribution networks more
flexible, responsive and nimble. The Webcast also discusses
how to leverage a WMS package to achieve warehouse best practices
such as flexible processing areas that respond quickly to
changes in customers' needs, create fulfillment systems that
accommodate rapid changes in volume and build easily customizable
shipping systems that reduce labor. Opportunities for significant
transporation cost savings will also be identified, as well
as strategies for implementing technology to optimize mode
and carrier selection and synthesize transportation operations
with supply chain partners.
