In-depth workshops at ProMat
ProMat 2009 organisers will offer three detailed educational workshops as part of next year's largest North American materials handling and logistics event from 12-15 January in Chicago.

Those workshops will focus on the basics of materials handling, inbound logistics and handling, and sustainability for manufacturing and distribution facilities.

The three in-depth sessions will take place in addition to the trade show with more than 800 materials handling- and forklift-related exhibitions and in excess of 100 focused show-floor Knowledge Center educational sessions.

The "basics" workshop will deal with systems analysis, equipment selection and how material handling relates to manufacturing, warehouse and other operations.

The "inbound" workshop will present a systematic approach to planning inbound logistics and material handling systems for manufacturing operations with pointers on lean and low-cost aspects.

The "sustainability" workshop will provide an overview of more than 200 ways to make operations more "green" and sustainable while striving to be cost competitive.

The trade association Material Handling Industry of America (MHIA) of Charlotte, North Carolina sponsors ProMat 2009 in the south exposition hall of Chicago's McCormick Place.

In preparing for the event, attendees can view details about exhibitors, educational sessions and showcased products at the website. The site includes "my ProMat solution matchmaker and agenda planner" service for organising use of time at the show.
