As 2011 approaches and the 2010 budgets fade, companies are taking a serious look at their supply chain IT (SCIT) systems. But we see many organizations floundering because they don’t know where to begin when evaluating, selecting and implementing systems.
The questions we usually hear are: Should my company upgrade? Or does my company need a completely new system? When should we begin the selections process? How long will the selection and implementation take?
Our very own SCIT systems expert Kevin Hume will answer some of these questions during a presentation at Logistics Management’s virtual conference, Best Practices in Supply Chain Productivity: People, Process, and Technology, on November 18.
With a focus on Improving Warehouse and DC Operations, he will touch base on warehouse management systems, transportation management systems, as well as labor management systems.
Kevin also wrote a recent blog post to help companies that are struggling with long-term and short-term goals for their technology. Read the post to learn more about initiatives that you can take to prepare for supply chain technology in 2011.
We’re also interested in learning more about your plan and pitfalls when it comes to evaluating, selecting and implementing supply chain technology systems. Let me know what obstacles you’ve had to overcome.
Go!Go!Go!
