The Fabricators & Manufacturers Association’s Software Technology Council is presenting a webinar on Supply Chain, Lean, and Inventory Management on March 3, 2016

ROCKFORD, Ill., Feb. 9 – FMA’s Software Technology Council, a group of volunteer leaders that serves to provide FMA members and the industry unbiased information about the benefits of software solutions and automation, has announced that they will present an education program as a complimentary webinar.

The Software Technology Council consists of ten industry leaders representing software providers or manufacturers who are end users. Three members of the council – Dave Lechleitner, Principal, Product Marketing Cloud Solutions, Exact Online; Bob Radder, Senior Implementation Manager, Customer Service, KeyedIn Solutions; and Bob Raida, Director, Business Development, Foundational e-Business – will present the webinar on Supply Chain, Lean, and Inventory Management. The aim of the webinar is to educate and assist the audience with answers to the questions that matter most to them. Participants will enjoy an interactive a Q&A portion at the end of the webinar.

“The goal of this webinar is to help participants understand the basics of ‘how.’ The elimination of waste through Lean is key to improving customer service and profitability,” said Radder. “We are offering this at no charge as we feel this information is too important not to be heard.”

Council member Raida added, “EDI and business to business e-commerce are prevalent today, yet few businesses really understand their options. It doesn’t need to be as costly or difficult as it may have been in the past. One of the objectives of this webinar is to shed light on the technology overall, what it requires, and the options that are available.”

Participants can learn more and register for the complimentary webinar by visiting fmanet.org or calling 888-394-4362.
