May 21  Juxtaposing Import & Export Compliance

Having focused on either imports or exports throughout our careers, many professionals ask - are the two really so different?  In this unique program, we will compare and contrast the similarities and differences in handling everyday import and export transactions.  In particular, we will provide examples of how you can apply and leverage your experience and knowledge in core areas to those where you may be less familiar (e.g., admissibility, licensing, role of the parties, classification, valuation, correcting errors, etc.).

May 22  Warehousing Basics Operations Layout, Design and Processes Set Up

 
Everything comes from a warehouse of some sort.  Receiving, storing, production, packaging, to shipping, all products we touch every day start at a warehouse.  Some companies manage to get products or services out the door with some profit. Many are so busy running the myriad of details a business requires, that they do not see the gaps in their  efficiency.  Is your business growing?  Are you expanding or consolidating your operations? One key to effectiveness is the relative dominance of picking or storage activity.  These two warehouse functions have opposing requirements.  Are you concerned over the prices of fuel changes?  What values are gained when your company goes "Green"?  Encouraging safety practices in the warehouse environment.
