Dr. John Mello will teach the 9-week course that will be held on Tuesday evenings from 6:00 pm to 8:30 pm at ASUN Jonesboro. This module will provide a working knowledge of the tools and techniques for planning of inventory, including planning techniques such as MRP, CRP, Lean, TOC, and projects, and will help the participant understand the effect of using each technique, know standard measurements for inventory, materials, capacity and supplier performance, and recognize when to escalate issues.

Southworth Products has been a long time member of the WTC and as members, we have reaped many benefits from its training opportunities. Many of the training opportunities have allowed our employees to hone their skills and to learn new skills that have not only improved their job performance, but have increased their value as an employee as well. We have also found that employee morale and job satisfaction have improved when we as a company are willing to invest our time and resources into training. The WTC has been an invaluable tool in that process.
