Ron Grove has been the lead or involved on the design of over 25 million square feet of distribution space. His session, “Slotting: It’s Not What You Have, It’s Where You Put It”, will address the one activity that most DC and inventory managers agree is important, even critical, but barely find time to perform. Proper slotting directly influences productivity, throughput, accuracy and service to customers. This discussion will explore all solutions, from manual to software-supported, which can help move product faster and smarter.

NCOF 2007 will be held at the Renaissance Schaumburg Hotel & Convention Center in Schaumburg, Illinois, April 30 through May 2, 2007. The conference is focused 100% on operations and fulfillment, and attendees will take away the smartest methods and best practices to boost efficiencies, raise productivity, streamline operations, manage costs and resolve operating challenges.
