SK Daifuku Shares The Secrets of Lean Warehousing and distribution at NA 2004

Internal Logistics Becomes a Competitive Advantage in Booth #1902

SALT LAKE CITY, UT – SK Daifuku Corporation announces that it will exhibit at NA 2004 in Cleveland, Ohio, March 29 – April 1. SK Daifuku’s Booth 1902 will focus on the benefits of lean warehousing and distribution. Presentations featuring case study examples will help attendees learn how to achieve these goals in their own operations.

NA 2004, sponsored by the Material Handling Industry of America (MHIA), showcases the latest solutions for productivity enhancement in manufacturing, warehousing and distribution operations. Echoing that theme, SK Daifuku will demonstrate how to increase productivity by planning and implementing lean warehousing and distribution processes.

“The SK Daifuku exhibit will be staffed by process experts who can help illustrate the key principles behind the lean concept,” says John King, vice president of sales and marketing. “We will also be able to show attendees a proven method for analyzing their current processes and preparing a roadmap for achieving a more cost-effective operation.”

“At the heart of the lean factory or warehouse is a Pull Engine that reduces costs, increases productivity and quality, and puts the emphasis squarely on customer satisfaction,” King says. “Many companies are committed to implementing a lean operation, but they don’t always know how to design processes that can meet that challenge. SK Daifuku, with more than 60 years of experience and a global client base, can offer the breadth and depth of solutions that will fit the particular requirements of any application.”

As part of the NA 2004 educational program, SK Daifuku will also present a seminar entitled “Lean Warehousing and Distribution – A Formidable Competitive Weapon.” Led by Steve Parsley, a recognized industry expert and dynamic speaker, the seminar will be offered on Wednesday, March 31, 2004. In this powerful seminar, attendees will learn how to take advantage of the lean concept through a series of real-life case studies that will showcase the key components of the lean operation.
