Is reactive planning
costing you
 time and money?

 


  

Find out how
Advanced Labor Planning can help
you make all the
right moves.

 

 

Get proactive with labor planning to boost distribution center productivity & reduce costs

 

Join this 30-minute webinar to learn how
to put the power of technology behind your
labor planning and scheduling decisions

 

 

Most Labor Management programs have been very good at reporting what happened, whether last week, yesterday, or even five minutes ago. But they don't help you predict what's going to happen later today, tomorrow or next week.

  

 

What if you could lay out a detailed roadmap for your operation each day before work even started?

 

What if you could tell an employee at 9:00 a.m. that they were going to change departments at 2:15 p.m.?

 

Would this help your operations team be more proactive -- and more productive?

 

Watch this on-demand webinar  to learn how to use Advanced Labor Planning technology to predict the future and ensure that you always have the right people doing the right job at the right time

 

 

 

"ProTrack Advanced Labor Planning
helps you decide not only how
many people you need, but who
the right people are and where
those people should be working.

Fleet operators covering local deliveries with multiple stops face two challenges to profitability: uncontrollable fuel costs and inconsistent driver productivity. The recent run up in fuel prices has created a sense of urgency for implementing programs to improve driver performance and cut fuel consumption. 

 

View this 30 minute webinar to hear Andy Recard, TZA Vice President, outline the steps fleet operators can take immediately to successfully counter these market forces. Find out about best practices and performance management strategies that can: 


  • Reduce cost per deliver
  • Trim miles per stop
  • Slash fuel consumption
  • Improve equipment utilization
  • Enhance customer service
  • Increase driver satisfaction

Hear a case study about a major distributor who reduced payroll, equipment and delivery costs through a combination of best practices and driver management software integrated with existing on-board and routing systems.

Strategies for Building A High Performance Workforce
in Distribution

 

Join our 30-minute on-demand webinar to see if managed services - or insourcing - can  reduce costs and improve productivity

 

 

 

 

Labor costs can
make up 65% of manufacturing and distribution center budgets. Are you sure that you're getting the best return on that investment and that your workforce is operating efficiently and utilizing best practices? Can you adapt your workforce to changes in your business and competition?

 

View the webinar now to learn how to achieve a high performance workforce. Compare the pros and cons of using a temporary staffing firm, employing a managed services/insourcing vendor, or outsourcing to a 3PL.

 

Find out the cost, risks and benefit of each approach...and which strategy best fits for your current workforce needs. Join us to learn the "ins and outs" of distribution center staffing to determine the right strategy to boost workforce performance in your operation.

 

 

 

 

 

  "We worked closely with TZA to develop an insourcing model... to leverage TZA's vast operational experience to implement engineered processes, optimize facility and equipment performance, utilize workforce management software, as well organizational development programs."

WEBINAR: An Integrated Approach to Improving Route Driver Productivity

 
 

TZA Header 75%

 

 

Join our TZA webinar at Noon CT on Tuesday, January 18: 

 

An Integrated Approach to Improving 
Route Driver Productivity

 

  

   

 

       Routing Systems?

      

       Onboard Computer 

       Systems?

      

       Laborious time and  

       record keeping?




Most local and regional delivery fleet operations and their transportation managers use one or more of these tools as they engage in a daily battle against traffic and time.

 

The goal? Complete each delivery route safely and on schedule while maintaining world class service levels and reducing overall operating costs.

 

But transportation managers also understand most of these systems work independently. They require manual intervention and consolidation of information.  Additionally, many systems often fail to concentrate very much attention on the primary answer to achieving profits and boosting profits - the driver.

 

The real answers to improving overall productivity are efficient, effective, productive and motivated delivery route drivers.

 

You are invited to gain insight on this issue and learn about emerging software solutions as TZA presents "An Integrated Approach to Improving Route Driver Productivity" on Tuesday, January 18, 2011.

 

During Andy Recard's one-hour presentation you will learn:

 

- Why many existing systems do not provide the visibility or necessary reporting to improve route driver productivity and performance at each delivery location.

 

- How new web-based tools are effectively joining order management, routing and onboard systems with state-of-the-art labor management systems to provide one source for all the information needed to run an efficient, productive and profitable fleet. 

 

- Why calculating delivery times required at each customer location and understanding parameters encountered by drivers at each stop are critical to reducing costs. Finding ways to boost driver productivity is essential in the face of driver shortages, higher fuel prices and increasing customer demands.

 

- How emerging measurement tools enable you to make fact-based business decisions. Such tools provide a clearer view of employee and delivery fleet performance and can help create equitable route driver incentive programs, leading to reduced driver turnover.

 

We look forward to welcoming you to this TZA event!

By popular demand, TZA's organizational development expert Steve Webber is pleased to offer an encore presentation of this highly attended but space-limited webinar. TZA enjoys a 90 percent returning attendee rate on additional training opportunities and this event will be no exception.

If you could not join us in late September, here's your opportunity.
If you benefited by hearing Steve, click on "Forward email" at the bottom and send this to a colleague!


Many distribution center managers realize there could be certain warehouse associates who are being employed today who also hold the potential to become tomorrow's supervisors.

 

Have you already pinpointed a few Generation X and Y workers with outstanding future potential to lead?

 

Do you know how to identify candidates for promotion, encourage them and prepare them to become supervisors within your distribution center?

Learn how from TZA on Tuesday, October 26.
 
Since Generation X and Y workers have grown up with a vastly different set of experiences and motivators than did baby boomers, this educational offering will help today's more experienced managers - many of whom are baby boomers - learn how to groom tomorrow's leaders. Future supervisors need to know how to build their success factors, including people skills, operational knowledge, personality and on-the-job attitudes.
 
During this webinar you will:
 
- Learn compelling new data about the upcoming flood of baby boomer retirements

 

- See why now is the time to prepare replacements


- Discover how to build an environment where learning thrives

 

- Start creating a specific action plan for developing associates

 

- Receive instruction in how to enhance your role as coach and mentor
 

- Understand why it is urgent to prepare the next generation of distribution center supervisors.
