ASCM Tampa Bay | November Virtual PDM

ASCM Tampa Bay invites you to join Chris Barnes, a recognized thought leader within the Supply Chain Industry, for a presentation with low-hanging fruit ideas on warehouse organization on Tuesday, November 9th.


When you were little, or maybe not so little, did you ever discover nickels, dimes or quarters under the couch cushions? Or maybe you recently got out the winter coat and found a ten-dollar bill in the pocket. Either way you were a bit excited and proud of your serendipitous endeavors. Making small changes in the warehouse can be similar to finding quarters in the couch.

Chris has been helping companies improve their warehouse operations for over 20 years. In his current role as solutions consultant for HighJump, he is in a unique position to frequently visit companies and make recommendations on how they can improve their warehouse performance. On his visits, the companies are generally interested in the benefits provided by a warehouse management system or WMS.  However, he frequently observes fundamental process improvements they could make that will help them improve performance with simple changes.  Many times, these changes should be made even if the customers decide not to implement technology.

After these visits, Chris provides the customer with ideas or Low Hanging Fruit changes they can make to improve their operations. This session is an overview summary of some of the improvement opportunities he typically sees.
