Long Grove, IL – At the annual National Operations Meeting held in North Carolina, August 2004, McKesson Corporation presented Tom Zosel Associates with the reputable National Operations Vendor of the Year Award for 2004. The award was granted to TZA for consultative support with Productivity Improvement and Strategic Distribution Planning projects.

TZA was the partner of choice for McKesson to introduce and implement Engineered Standards into the company’s 28 distribution centers – one of the most aggressive and financially important productivity programs in McKesson’s history. TZA was also involved with detailed analysis in helping McKesson shape their distribution strategic direction, in order to remain a step in front of the competition.

John Platz, TZA’s Vice President, personally accepted the award from Brian Magerkurth, Senior Vice President of Distribution Operations of McKesson Corporation, who said that “TZA is a very key vendor. Their partnership and dedication to McKesson success is second to none”. McKesson Corporation is the leading provider of supply, information and care management products and services designed to reduce costs and improve quality across healthcare.

Kevin Patterson, Vice President, Distribution Operations at McKesson Corporation said, “We saw the Productivity Improvement Program as an opportunity for significant competitive advantage and cost structure improvement, and it has been. The Best Practices work alone generated about sixty recommendations. Our average cost per line handled has dropped by more than 25% in one of our distribution centers. Requiring supervisors to perform observations has changed the way they manage our work force for the better”.
